Saw this before and someone asked, 'is that a wee crack on the bonnet?' Great pic and one that will be taken down soon unfortunately.

Red, but not just any red...

Base colour of silver, 2 layers of coarse shimmer, 6 layers of candy red, 2 layers of lacquer, machined, Swissvax'd, paint protection film.







In for a penny and all that...

This thread should be renamed 'What colour is your TVR?'

I would have chosen purple if I could have found one but after much searching finally opted for the simple and tidy look of silver

That sir, is stunning. I'm really leaning towards silver. It's so crisp, clean and rare. Although I may go for a non TVR silver. Not decided 100% yet.
Don't normally like silver cars but that looks stonking.

I like Moonraker but also Starmist Chianti. Spends most of its time looking black. But pops when the sun hits it...

Everyone who has seen your car Steve obvious stops not because it's just standout look at me but it's not over the top and the quality of the paint work is excellent

Thank you!

It is quite subtle in normal light - just a deep metallic red, but when the sun hits, that's when people notice it. Still unique in the TVR world smile

Well, colour code on chassis plate leads me to believe mine is GTS Viper blue - so that obviously!!

Looks very different in different lights though - best on a bright sunny day!!
Just in case you read this.. what is the colour code for yours please? There seem to be several different versions of Viper GTS blue; even on Dodge Vipers there were 4 different shades over the years, apparently!

thanks
