Good or bad ? Is it practical (full respray for small scratch etc?)and does it suit the Griffiths curves ?

Not seen a Griff in any reflex colour in the flesh, only photos (although that will change tomorrow woohoo ) From various photo's of Tuscans I like the look of it, not too 'flippy' with too many colours spoiling the effect.

Any opinions welcome.

Cheers
Simon.

eta OK looks like I'll have to wait and see for myself !!

Bad idea.

Classsic design needs a classic colour. In my opinion the vulgar, look-at-me colour schemes of the last 8 years or so (plus the speed 6 engine) is one of the main reasons a lot of the Griff/Chim new car buyers didn't move on to buy Tuscans.

the reflex colours look great on any tvr and are not to flash, but the paint is expensive

anyone ordering a new tvr were able to chose whatever colour they wanted.

Been to see it, looked better than I thought it would. (and I thought it would look good.)

Really quite subtle for a reflex colour and suited the car really well.

Having driven a few now (one other today aswell), the car drove and handled beautifully. I really liked it.................


















.....in fact I liked it so much I bought it woohoowoohoowoohoo roll on next Friday when I collect it and bring it homebouncedriving

There was a reflex Griff at the Growl this year and to be honest I didn't like it, I don't think it looks right.
I think there is a picture of it on one of the Growl picture posts

ETA Found it....



(Apologies if it was anyone's on here but it's all down to personal opinion biggrin)
