Chimaera bonnet fit cerbera?

[Poopdog]

Does anyone know if the chimaera bonnet fits the Cerbera?, I think it's a better looking bonnet for starters and I would presume it's better for cooling due to the larger vents at the sides

Don't think so.....cerb bonnet is longer.....am willing to stand corrected in orthopedic shoes ...... however I don't see why you couldn't add the style of vent into the current cerb bonnet....would certainly look better than some bonnet vent styles!!!

I thought the same as every aftermarket vent I've seen looks grim ( in my opinion), so keeping it tvr should be acceptable , there's a smashed up one on eBay that I could probably take a mould of the vents on and graft them to mine if the Chimaera and cerbera bonnets are different

Nope, they won't fit.

Thanks for clearing that up, I'll get a couple of moulds.
There's a chap who parks his chimp in my local Waitrose so if I get there quick I'll get some moulds without him knowing

How'd did this go??? Anyone good with Photoshop to see how it might look.........

The recent book about TVR 'Cars of the Peter Wheeler era' shows the 1993 London Motor Fair pre-production Cerbera which appears to have a Chimera style bonnet.

There's one photo on Flickr when I google - a metallic red, but it's at a poor angle. The photo in the book (page 99) is slightly better.
