So finally have the money to get the car resprayed nearly 3 years after doing the body off and i fancy a change from the current cooper green/stone chip finish. As per the title i have found one pic of a Griff in this colour and i think it really suits the car and looks stunning. Does anyone have any more pics of a griff in this colour please. Also on my radar is starmist ocean haze which floats my boat so any pics of that griffs that colour appreciated particularly if it has a black interior. Open to other suggestions but those two colours are my current favourites.

TIA Bubbles.

Nice Griff. I thought the Corrado mirrors on Sagaris bases would suit the Griff, I was right.

In ten years of ownership I've never checked what colour it actually is, was told it was Ferrari red when I bought it.... but that isn't listed as a TVR colour, so always assumed Formula Red..... but thinking about it when parked next other red ones you can see colour differences between them....... I am intrigued now, I'm out playing latter so will see if there is anything to let me know for sure.

I didn't want a red one, but when I saw it I feel in love cloud9 , also be careful as some colours which work on a 500 I do not think will work on a pre-cat due the flat front end (just my opinion)

I really thought this was going to be simple and had my heart set on rover night fire red but I'm so taken with both Ocean haze and the Californian sage .....got until end of Feb to make up my mind. My lad had a Hawaiian blue mini cooper and I reckon that would look good also confused Swanny PM sent more pics would be great.
