No, it's the boot, rear quarters and half the roof.

But only if driving backwards.

Don`t be a tt ! I just wanted to know how much of the front end is painted .!

[davemac250]

Have a look at what you asked.

Then tell me where that didn't deserve a daft answer.

tt back at you.

What is the colour?

Chilli's profile says '98 Chimaera 500 in Highland Pearl

[Markh]

looks great, by far the best headlight conversion you can do to a Chimaera

What is a front end re spray.. is it both wings ,the bonnet and the front end ?

Daz, just got ours back from a front-end respray and it seem there's no single answer, it depends on how much damage you asked to be sprayed out, the people doing the spraying and of course the agreed price. In Kate's case it meant two thirds of the bonnet (perfectly blended), all the grill/nose end and all of the front wings but that was at my request due to many fine scratches. If your paintwork was better than ours then you wouldn't need so much work.

Hi guys, thanks for the positive comments

Yep colour is Highland Pearl, grey in the winter but when the sunlight hits it it sparkles with blues reds greens and God knows what else With regard to protective coating, definitely considering this, but next job is get new tyres for the 16" front Estorils that are still standing in as a coffee table in my lounge and fit the 300mm rotors and calipers that are currently residing in the spare room

Cheers all..

Personally love the original look with various upgrades,but must admit she looks well!

[MPoxon]

Looks really good Chilli. Good choice.

Are they any brighter than the standard units?

[sheel]

Loving the colour , I've never notice greens and reds in mine mainly gold seems to come through.

Thanks for the positive comments Richard, it was a pleasure, and it always makes the job more worthwhile when we get the kind of reaction we had when you saw the finished car. Cheers Ian

Hi Paul, thanks for that, have to say the 16" Estorils on the front add to the overall look

Shirly all TVR owners have taste?

[SteveSPG]

is this different to the std mk3 faired in headlights? (apologies , not that familiar with the chin options)....

[davelittlewood]

Now that is really nice!
How much did the lights and painting cost?

[67Fox]

Really nice conversion, well done.

[ChilliWhizz]

Thanks guys, the thread has been resurrected, conversion was done early 2013.. was £900, same (I believe) as the Mk3 units but with VAG (Golf) headlamp units... Really pleased I did it, so much nicer in my opinion than the earlier units.....
