Back end of T350

[Gaffer]

Ok...seeing as some of you still don't like the back end, how would you change it...? would you change the lights...?

i personally love the back end look - having seen it in the 'flesh' i wouldn't change any of it.

Ditto what jammygit says.

The whole car is spot on, hence it only took me about 30 minutes rom first seeing it at the NEC to placing the order

The only minor detail that could let the car down IMO is what they do with the front number plate. Am not a fan of sick on ones, and the Green car that Autoexpress had, just had a normal number plate stuck on, which looks like an after thought. I think it needs a moulded plate to be mounted on, like on the boxster, (sorry, know I shouldn't use that word )

[johno]

I wouldn't. Not for a second. Not for a millisecond. The car is gorgeous as is and I am currently working out which colour combo I will have in 3-4 years time.

I have a sneaky suspicion it will be ....

Moonraker Black Metallic with Full Black Hide

Dual circular lights either side. Similar to Lotus, Aston, Ferrari etc I know, but they do look class. Boomerang things do nothing for me I'm afraid...

Anyone fancy rehashing it in Photoshop...? I'll have a go but I'm a bit crap, so the results might not be too great...!

I dont think they should change anything,the whole car is spot on..

Well I know your views thats why I was asking the rest

[RichB]

Back end is spot-on IMO, and as maseratti have abandoned their boomerang lights then the T350 will be a lttle bit unique eh? The only alternative would be a 21stC take on the old ban-the-bomb lights - but personally I think a front plate mount a la (lets say) Alfa Romeo Spider) is needed. Rich...

i've laid the lights bearing in mind the style of the car with its very tight, closed placement of elements, and the way the curves work.

[Gaffer]

Don't know which arrangement I prefer.

[Bodo]

Dunno, which one I prefer; I think the original TVR-styling is still the best



roop, know you've seen we're not masters of picture editing you can show us yours

[Gaffer]

I like that one.

Claire

PS Roops in the pub at the moment.

[shadowninja]

yeah that style works well and is unique to the car!

[Bodo]

The shape of the light clusters wasn't really intended: I just removed the parts on the bottom, and mirrored what was left; hence the right perspective.

IMHO it's just interesting to see how smaller lights look like

[Gaffer]

I really like it though. I also like the William Tell detail as well

[tuffer]

I like bodo's interpretation, did'nt like the car at all when I saw the Motorshow pics but now its really grown on me....especially the Black one thats featured on the main page [homermodeon]UuuuuRRRrrrGGggghhhhhhh!! [homermodeoff]

Errr I suppose you mean like on the Tuscan?

[dicky]

saw Hawthorns demoo today, and I have to admit it looks great in the flesh. Much better than any picture I have seen.

[ro_butler]

It's fine as it is.

[Bodo]

Sorry, couldn't resist playing and got another derivate:



Mmmh. gunmetal with black wheels; this is how I like it
