I love the car and the shape but for me it has to be that 'bit' they stuck on the rear bumper.
It looks like they had bit of left over material for making the mould so thought where can we stick this. It serves no real purpose and breaks up the smooth lines of the car. IMHO

I have often thought about having it removed and the bumper smooth as a babies botty. Has anyone done this already? I have seen it on a Chim and it did look nice.

I can honestly say I love every aspect of the Cerbs styling, never do I get tired of looking at it

Where the C-pillars and rear 'screen meet the boot looks a bit messy - but that's the only criticism I could ever level at the mighty Cerb from a design POV. Personally I feel the Chimaera/Cerbera era constitutes the zenith of TVR design. smile

I love the cars looks from every angle and never get bored looking at it. Admittedly I am not a friend of the newer updated headlamps... Personal preference as I know many of you like them newer lamps.

A thing of beauty a joy to behold, just been into the garage and spent 10 minutes ogling the baby looks perfect to me, automotive pornography.

Given the paradise that the front and middle of the body represent there is something that balks me about the rear 3/4 view.
I really appreciate the vast amount of storage available but there is something ust a little too bulbous about some angles of her arse.

Not so Good .....



Much better ....

But that bit on the bumper just looks soo out of place and spoils the lines. It looks like it has it's tongue hanging out lol (poking it's tongue out at all the cars it's just left behind maybe lol)

Perhaps someone could photochop it off so we can see what it looks like sans tongue. The pic of the red car might be a good candidate.

The Cerb styling is perfect....its a dateless design and there are not many cars you can say that about...the only one that springs to mind instantly is the E-Type Jaguar.

I genuinely can't think of anything... They are an absolutely gorgeous looking car. I've just checked mine for confirmation, and yes, definitely gorgeous. cloud9

I just checked (again) and agree - there is no bad view to be had!

I hate the wheelbarrow style exhausts (hence why I changed mine).
