my chimaera is halcyon Atlantis pearl Unfortunately on mine, they are back to front with the rears too far in and the fronts too far out, so looks a bit strange at the moment

My Griffith is Halcyon Atlantis to give it it's full name. It wasn't a limited edition colour but was introduced in the latter end of the production life of the cars I believe. The last (official) Griffith 500SE was painted this colour
It's a great colour and generates much attention and comment.It has a good range of shade from Blue to Green depending on the formulation and the position of the sun/shadows, not easy to photograph.
Thanks for the photo, that does look lovely in the pic. It's a great colour and generates much attention and comment.It has a good range of shade from Blue to Green depending on the formulation and the position of the sun/shadows, not easy to photograph.
I need to get out more, as haven't seen this colour in the flesh yet
Think that may be the way forward once I've got the rest of the car up to speed......still loads to do
S&D repaired and repainted the car in the same colour.(Which is the same as the Chimaera) It's not one of the more complex flip paints so isn't ridiculously expensive. You can control whether it's more blue or green by the amount of tint.
Here's a pic of mine in paint:

When that photo of my car was taken the paint was 10 years old, it still looked as good when I had my accident last year.

I lost an argument with the central reservation of the M6 Toll on my way to the TVRCC AGM.
S
t!!!! thought it was going to be a parking scratch of something. Gutted for you, that's proper nasty. Hope it was only the car that was injured and all is back to normal now.I guess that's the only downside with the fg bodies is the damage they sustain when they hit something hard.
Mine was re-sprayed after a prang, the documentation listed it as a "Badger Strike"
Did make me laugh a bit when I read it, although I feel for the badger

OP, tell me more about your wheels - size, offset etc. Just to see if we can solve your problem, as they look nice on the car.
Thanks.TBH, All I know is they are 16's initially running 225/50/16's on the front (Changed to 215/40/16's to clear inner wings) and 17's rear with 235/40/17's IIRC....Cant check the rear sizes at the mo, but will confirm tomorrow.
All I know with the offset is the rears sit in the arches about 1 1/2" more than the fronts and I'm not keen on running spacers on a performance car due to the extra load put on the wheel bearings.
I have just won a bid on 4 standard Imola wheels 15's and 16's that I know will fit well in the meantime, so the current ones will be up for sale soon with pretty much brand new tyres on
Thinking of powder-coating them a graphite colour to be a bit different until I can decide (save up for) bigger rims as they do look fantastic on the cars above.

215/40 16 is too small for fronts - I run 215/40 17s on mine on the road, and 215/45 17s on track.
Offset will be stamped inside the wheels, prefixed maybe with ET. You need this for the advert, together with the 4x108 stud pattern and the diameter of the centre hole.
