Phil, I can only see one of the pics, Fotango seems to be playing it's tricks again so there isn't much to compare.
What I did notice though was you've had the front of the garage re-built, looks good and you can easily fit the car in now, but it probably doesn't fit in with the surroundings being quite so large.

And another thing, Your car looks blue mate!

I like the red spokes but dont think the square rims will make the ride as comfortable or economical.

Inother words I cant see 2nd and 3rd pics either. The past few fotango pics I have posted havent worked either.

[shnozz]

balls. how can one picture on fotango work and one not work. grrr

[DustyC]

Perhaps its all the TVR pics that are now on fotango giving it the intermitant fault!

Try this:-




For my money, No. 2. Phil, stop ing about with a classic design mate.

[DustyC]

Number two too.

3 looks like you've been braking a lot and 1 looks like it needs a clean.

ok ok. I always struggle to leave cars as standard. What can I say!

the wheels need a refurb anyway so hence I thought about the change of colour at the same time rather than just a re-laquer.

I can't see pic no. 1 very clearly, it's too dark. No. 2 looks just fine to me whereas No. 3 is not to my liking at all I'm afraid. Leave your poor Chim alone!

I can see an Elise in Azure Blue looming on the horizon!

[shnozz]

no, number 3 isnt to my liking either I must say. a fellow PHer kindly did the pics for me though so just interested in the reaction to each of them (thinking resale here )

I must say, I do quite like the black wheels

[shnozz]

and mark - my car does look blue there doesnt it! Bob the planner said the same and I agree. odd. quite a few of my pics make the car look blue for some reason...

Because blue is THE best colour for a TVR, camera never lies mate.

An elise on the other hand, well you'd need powder pink, or some garish yellow or green type colour.

On the subject of an Elise, the colour Azure Blue is rather nice but I'd go for (dark) purple with (subtle) gold wheels OH But then I am a girl!

would you have a matching handbag???

Hi shnozz, i have a BRG chim,,,i had the same issue..my wheels needing repairing etc,,at the same time and i had them re-sprayed black. Same cost anyway,, They were dark grey before,,,,i will try and get pics,,I like them and when people see the car they think it looks better, but again its personal opinion,,i thought well if i dont like them,,or it looks naf,,,ill change them back when i get them re-done -,,but i like them! Again i do feel it has to go with the colour of the car,but on colour of your car i would probly go for the dark/graphite grey...also they were 95£ a wheel}
all the best ,,Paul
