hey guys, good news. TVR was hit by a bus so now i got an excuse to get a red hot respray!!! also insurance co will be paying some towards it!
Does anyone know the paint code for TVR's reflex/ chameleon purple?
Tried ringing the factory but they on shut down for 2 weeks and i need prices for insurance.
Also its an Early S1, the bus damaged alloys so prob going to get a new set there too. Are they standard ford fitments ie. sierra etc or something scavenged elsewhere.
ta for any help guys

Look under your bonnet and find your identification plate, on it is a number which is a body code, this is your paint code. It is an ICI paint code and your paint shop should be able to match up this code for painting,hope this helps.

I'm not having the same paint colour, currently is a totally uninteresting blue, as i decided to rebuild entire car and customise a little I have decided to splash out the 2.5 k or so on a 3 tone paint.
The tvr factory is not working at moment but I found somewhere that does the same paint for 2/3 of the price.
Also I'm looking to upgrade alloys for some customs- are they standard ford fitments??

shes gonna look spanking pretty soon and can't wait to show her off next year, should be supercharged cossie by then too- depends on how finances hold out
