OK I admit it! I don't like yellow on just about any car - just think it looks like a giant lollipop no matter what car it's attached onto!
As for the rear lights; I like the look of the smoked lenses from the GSi, not a big fan of SE lights and definately wouldn't go for the front light conversion - the originals look great!

Go for the front conversion, leave the rears original.
Someone mentioned p**sholes (sorry, urine holes) in the snow as descibing the rear conversion, and I think that's pretty apt.

Now if the bodyshop did an afterburner replacement under smoked perspex with the same profile as the original lights (keeping the scollop) I could be interested

For the front convertion are you having the tuscan styley one or the pod replacement??
as for the back i'd have them standard shape but smoked(old style)imo
cant you do a photoshop jobbie on the rear to see what it would look like?

Why not go for something completely different and have the Tuscan rear lights or even the Tuscan racer rears all blended in (I did it on a Minivan once). As for the front what about Speed 12 look or again Tuscan racer with indicators under fairing and fog lights intheir place or have that hole filled. Get hold of a Hella catalogue they do loads of different styles. Go on make it unique, you know you want to.
Cheers Al.

Yes, keep the origionals... if your gonna change anything the front conversionoffered by TVR Bodyshop looks wicked... the twins inside the plastic cover. saw my first one a few weeks ago and it really looks the dogs danglies.

I Like it and think i am gonna go ahead and have it done, hey it wouldnt be that hard to change it back in the future if i/some one else wants to change it back to the original.
As for the fronts yes i am having the one with the perspex cover over the twin lights and can vouch for them looking a quality product and hey i might be able to see at night know.

I've had the front light conversion on my formula red Griff with a black grill and the spots taken out. It looks great and yes you can see better at night, no more using the force.
