Ok, so the only bit left on the griff i've yet to touch has been the headlights!!
i know this has been done before but would be great to see some of the differant options on your cars, i have been toying with the idea of relocating the front indicators in the pod along with the Full beams leaving me with a nice whale shark mouth on the front! Ready to be shot downshoot

Swanny, What year is your car?[the griff] your profile says you own a chim but its a griff in the picture?
Who did the work for you
Interesting to see you also owned a 350c but prefer the Griff, i am currently toying with which i prefer but i think my Griffs got an unfair headstart

The Griff was a 2000, X reg. Headlight work was done for a previous owner - can't remember which specialist did it.
I sold the Griff in summer 2010 because it wasn't getting driven as I working away (and because I'm an idiot)Really was a very special car and I painfully regret selling her.

The Chim is nothing like as well sorted (or as beautiful) as the Griff but I missed owning a TVR and Chims represent better value at the moment.

T350 was great but I always had a thing for Griffiths and the one I had was as quick and handled as well as the T350.

Know what you mean about the Griff, i know if i had to make a choice which one would be staying in the garage, i think i will go with the twin light conversion and leave the indicators as is, taking away the number plate bar! Your Griff certainly looked a peach. Thanks for the post

Hi Chris,

All that work on Swannys car was done by Dulfords.
A guy called Simon had it at the time...2005?
One of the nicest ever IMHO. Not seen it since swanny had it.

Remembered who did the lights - Webbs Auto Specialist in Nailsea, Bristol.

Scroll down for a few examples of Griffs with twin headlights.

@Andy - the Griff went to a new owner in Europe frown

Thanks Swanny i spoke to these people a while back and was told that they don't really cover TVR's anymore and could not supply the light kit, think i'm going to go with the sportmotive kit and keep the indicators original
