Great to see the project completed. Sorry if this has already been done to death, but which front indicators are those?

thank you its good to finally have it back, no problem, the actual lenses are just aftermarket BMW E30 cost around £15 off ebay last year. The units themselves are sealed LED ones off a VW something, got them rigged up as sidelights for mot purposes (will end up changing them for white ones i think), my indicators are rigged up as a amber halo ring now that pulses then returns back to DRL white.

Yep, mines metallic ash green, does look darker on the photos than in the flesh I think

[Tarmac Tickler]

Do we know how many variants of Ash Green TVR used?
I thought yours looked a familiar colour.

Well i found out that the body code under my bonnet was a completely different colour to the paintwork on the car (which is original), in the end i ordered tester from a website that assured me the code i was looking for was 0823b ash metal green (i think it was) not 0532b, there sample was an exact match too.

Go on, show us the engine bay

Please imagine it without the blue air intake (black on order), its actually quite nice when you stand abit further back & take in the initial 'fk thats bright green' moment..

[Tarmac Tickler]

Maybe they will darken with age

[greenhulk]

Sorry guys couldn't resist abit of engine porn after i replaced the blue air intake

[TVRees]

Wow, well done Steve. The engine bay looks better than the day it left the factory and the light green is a nice contrast.

[glenrobbo]

Does it glow in the dark Steve? Perfect for Halloween!

[Tarmac Tickler]

WOW, your engine bay looks the DOGS, when you take a second look past the green pipe work you see an extremely tidy engine etc, I am the green one with jealousy.

[greenhulk]

thanks gents, appreciated. It certainly does contrast, i guess i just thought hey, it was about time i 'go green'..

yeah it even comes with this free glow in the dark bogroll for when the trick or treaters crap themselves at the sound of it starting up

[greymrj]

Lots of nice detailing there Steve, looking forward to seeing it next year.

[greenhulk]

Well done Steve. It's a big thumbs up from me!


Perhaps I could have phrased that a bit better? But at least it's not just me alone with a bog roll now.
Hang on, wait a minute.... I didn't mean it like that.... Oh sht!

Hallowe'en is when the wicked witches, ghouls and ghosts and other unspeakably evil things are all abroad Steve. Thank Heaven we here in Great Britain are safe for a night.
I don't know if this arrangement will continue post-Brexit, but it could cause problems in Brussels.
A tricky one, how best to treat it?
