Normally I'm a bugger for keeping things as original as possible, but those faired in lights look fantastic. The engine bay looks absolutely spectacular, you must be itching to get behind the wheel after all this time.
I am sure if TVR had those lights available when building the cerbs they would have put them in instead of the bosch candlestick holders . Faired in conversion is the way to go. I never thought it suited the different front end of the chimaera though.

Single headlamps still the prettiest though.

Well if anyone ever fancies them over the standard Sped 6 type headlight pods, Brendan (ex RaceProved) now at Concept Performance (I think!) is your man to talk to, he has the moulds and the lens covers.

Hey Paul,

Very much appreciated. Tanguero has already offered, as I took him and Mrs Tanguero to pick up theirs from APM a while back. I've got a feeling it'll be a week day pick-up, so might be easier all round for me to jump on a train rather than put people out. But I still don't have a date yet, so nothing's set.
Let me know mate as shift work can be a blessing sometimes y'know. wink

Hi Steve

I can wait to see your new car. If you fancy joining us on Sunday 14th for TiTT12 but can't get on the list, I'll happily give up my place and jump in your passenger seat.

Let me know, Cheers - Paul
