What you all think of this custom cerbera look?

[SXS]

Any views? Something along these lines will be my next upgrade - the light pods will be sourced from an american custom modifier.... if I go ahead with this... otherwise I'll just go standard...

I need encouraging fellas!!!

Not great they look too small, i reckon the best are the three point lights.

[rico]

The lights look like the new Aston V8 lights...

[SXS]

They are from the Vanquish - well spotted! but they'll be replica's... i dont think the originals will go with the curve....

They're not from the Vanquish... Definitely the new V8 that i posted above.

In terms of how your Cerbera looks... try the lights more horizontal... like Aston have.

I think that will look better.

But top marks for originality... quite like it

[cacatous]

It just says Jap Car to me I'm afraid.

I do admire you for thinking outside the usual TVR design!

[al bell500]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yup.
They do it for me

Any idea of cost?

Sorry, V8... thats what I meant... ahh, they all look the same to me... hehe

ok, slight change here, how about now?



Rico - I tried the horizantal sort of approach and it looks too flatty...

with a front end respray of my paint, I'm looking at high figures, god knows, trying to get the idea right, then I will go for it, I'm not one to just throw a good idea away, but I keep getting pulled back to the speed 12 setup.... just need lots of thumbs up to convince me to go down this route....

[rico]

I'd go for it. Personalise your car

Then if you think it looks pants just go and get the Speed12 upgrade... but at least you tried your own design.

what about the t350 look? I think the tvr bodyshop we doing a kit...

I'd love to see that.

Mesh grille looks good. I kept getting halfway through doing that job on mine. Lights look a bit too small - especially given the size of the indicators. Something more T350 based might look cool, or even the new Tuscan front end, with fared-in twin lights.

Do applaud the attempt to update the car beyond where TVR's left it.

[kojak69]

Agree with everyone else regarding the lights lookin too small.

One other minor detail...wheres the number plate going to go? You are back to having some sort of middle bar.

I've seen plates mounted on the top-side of the bottom of the nose on a Cerb before (if that makes sense) - a bit difficult to read, and probably not legal. Personally, I'd have a go at seeing if it can be mounted as per normal, but to the bottom of the nose rather than the middle bar.

[razzle99]

Do admire the original idea, but find the Tuscan style lights hard to better on the Cerb....

Especially it could be my next - it's the missus favourite TVR, has a couple of tiny rear seats & is about the only thing I could think of that could begin to console me if the Griff ever goes....

SXS, Could you do me a favour. As you seem to be playing with photoshop and creating a new front look for your car, could you photoshop the front lights from the new Marcos TSO onto the Cerb.



I think it would look great, but I don't own a copy of photoshop to try it myself.
