Chimaera with T350 head lights

[stumpage]

Yesterday lunch time in Welwyn Garden City I parked near a Chimaera with the front light from a T350 on it. It looked ace. Shame I did't have my mobile with me so I could get a picture.

Anyone's car on here? It looked really good.

hi, sportmotive did a conversion on one,i think it was a black car, its on their website.

Must have done a few more as the one I saw was dark green and face lifted model.

Seen that one at the meet! Agree it's a very well done conversion, but personally I don't like the look of it, doesn't suit the car IMHO.

Agree with you there too, doesnt follow any lines of the car at all

Thanks for the kind words Stumpage . Since you're obviously a man of good taste, here's some more pics for you, apparently showing that the conversion doesn't follow the lines of the car (as if two big round 7.5 inch Lucas units cut into the wings blends so beautifully with the superb curvature of the rest of the bodywork ). Yes, Ian at Sportmotive in Stoke-on Trent did the conversion and I personally am really happy with it. For more pics, Argoose's has probably still got some on his profile.

I saw this at one of the meets also.

Looks even better in the flesh.

I'm not sure i'd do it to mine... It takes away some of the aggrssive looks. IMO

Still, looks good though and gives the car a modern look.

It looks absolutely stunning. A brave move, but well worth it.

Seem to recall this was the first one done...

No that looks horrid, front lights yes, rear lights................. maybe ? as for the lump on the bonnet that horrid rear spoiler and the rear diffuser with the exhausts sticking out YUK YUK, screams Barry Boy to me, should be strung up and shot

Not really, these are old photos from many years ago...

Bonnet lump, diffuser and spoiler all functional.

It's not my particular flavour, but each to their own.

Verdict:

To be shot by firing squad at dawn.

That rear end is truly awful, and a real besmirchment of the TVR name.
