Took delivery of my Chimaera following a front end light conversion by TVRbodyshop (Webb's Autos, Bristol) last week. Here it is...




... I have to say that the end product looks stunning. It has really improved the look of the car and the work done by TVRbodyshop was first rate. Many thanks to Jason Webb for top drawer customer service and a cracking job done. Would have no hesitation in recommending Jason for bodywork/resprays etc.
I also had the lower sill and wing mirrors Armourfend'ed. Whilst I have decided against protecting anymore of the car with Armourfend, I am impressed with the end result and (once again) the service from Armourfend.
Unfortunately, I cannot say the same thing about Chips Away. E-mail me off line if you are contemplating using Chips Away for any bodywork...

All you need now is a set of Zertec afterburners to finish it off.

Cutmonster, I see you are from the south east! Bristol is a fair way to go for the job! How long did they have it for and did you get a courtesy car?

Sometimes it doesn't work - I just tried following my suggestion and got the "Forbidden....." So I did what I originally did which was to "reply" to the first note at the top and you will see the address in text. I copied this, opened a new browser session, pasted it (deleting the [pic] bit at the end) and it fired up! Then whern I went back to my original session the pic was there too! - As I've said before that Bill Gates has a lot more to answer for than Pete Wheeler ever will.

Roar on.

Yep, nice backdrop too.
When these lights first appeared through Zertec and I saw the Griffith conversion I remember thinking that thet didn't suit the car somehow,but on a Chim ,they look like they should have been there as standard, its a realy good upgrade imho.
Their Griff upgrade is what i've been waiting for, as they've got it just right with keeping the original lens cover look, another thing on my most wanted list!

Do you know if TVR Bodyshop sell these as a self fitment kit? as Bristol's a fair way from me.

Anyway, the car looks brill.
