Nothing,, It was addidas...

Take them off immediately and get some good trainers!
Adidas and Winfield its like AP Racing and Hi Spec
Car looks great, but you wouldn't wear an Armani suit with flip flops
As for the badges why cover up what you've happily paid for?

Not trying to be controversial just my opinion

No problem at all on your opinion Bob. The Hispec caliper are the equal to AP or any other, its just a casting with moving pistons in it. Difference is the disks are 360mm and do make the difference. Calipers are six pot but as its the original master cylinder that really doesn't mean much as its moving the same volume of fluid.

Let's face it, the average Joe would not know the make of the caliper as it has TVR On it. Wouldn't have wasted full money on the kit, eBay has its benefits and got matching rear disks thrown in. More brake force than standard with less feel.

Just couldn't live with the branding, and being a Lancashire lad, happy to show the logo.

As far as dreaming about sags, why bother when its just a 350 with a funny roof and side facing noise?

Now that should get a reaction

Not much of one apart from LANCASHIRE IS BEST, but you already know that.

As for the fluid piston ratio.I had 8 pts on my CSL with standard master cylinder larger discs and the difference was massive.

Not being critical of your choice, just why cover the name up.

The badge on the rear of the car looks good

Enjoy .......T350s are good, and you already know that

Finally Pete I really like the white, do you know what white it is?
Thanks

Looks good to me. Being a modest Yorkshireman (ish), I'd go for TVR logos though

[bobd]

Could it be balloon white?

"The Hispec caliper are the equal to AP or any other, its just a casting with moving pistons in it." Who told you that ? Calipers are made of different materials and to different tolerances . Why anyone would remove AP which are very high quality and replace them with Hi Spec is unfathomable !

[Targarama]

I fitted a HiSpec upgrade to my Chimaera, it worked well and I had no problems.

Hispec may not equal brembo, AP etc for pure race design but they stop the car mighty quick so really, what else is there other than brand snobbery.

So if you are not a brand snob why cover them up?
