Headlight and rear light conversion

[Staubkappe]

Introduction:
I have been a silent reader for some time and am now more than ever looking to buy a TVR, Cerbera V8 or a Tuscan.
Now Cerberas with 4.5s are very scarce, or at least resold less frequently than earlier 4.2 models. Unfortunately, I can't really get used to the look of the pre-facelift Cerbera, mainly the lights.

I have found various pictures/reports/videos of conversions to the Facelift or SpeedSix look but no "kits" to buy or anything.
Do you know any tutorials, conversion kits (front and rear) or workshops (preferred in mainland Europe since i am from germany)?
I also wouldn't mind a small trip to the island if you know a good workshop which isn't too far in the north, however this would be a last option.

Thanks in advance, any info is appreciated since i am completely new to this.

I hope this helps.

Also try Simon at this number, [phone]. Simon owns Windrush Paintworks who specialise in TVR and he has a fiberglass fabricator who makes things like this to order.

I may have a pair of these available, just cover the postage. It will be a week or so until I know.

Hiya Dust Cap,

I like your idea.

Just beware that there are many different conversion options before you decide.

My favourite was the late, great MadMark's version....



but there are others, such as Ian's ....



Good Luck

Also check them.out in the dark. There's a lot to be said for the old big headlights with bright bulbs in them

You possibly have front or rear’s available? Id be interested in the rear quads if you have have them…. Just the molds or with lights

I much prefer the original big headlights.

The rears. I'll know more when I get my car back. But it would be just the moulds

Thank you all for the information. I just found a promising car in Luxemburg with the following headlights. Left are the original ones, right are the ones it had when i came back from the UK due to a front damage reapair.
Is this original? Not that I would care much if it is, i like the looks. Just curious

Ok Thanks, if you could let me know when you have more info that would be great

I always thought something like the Mini Union Jack rear lights would look good

The LHS is the Series II (2000 & 2001)
The RHS is the Series III (2002 onwards)

Of course, many owners have 'updated' their babies from the original spec to later versions so it's not possible to state 'original' from just looking.
The interior is usually, though not always, a better way of estimating the model's age.

If you want me to go and see the 'Luxy' version for you, no probs

I am just in the middle of fitting Tuscan 2 headlamps to a cerbera . It has meant reshaping the front wings to a much sleaker design.

That looks like a great idea, I fitted the twin pods myself to the 4.5 back in about 2002 & always thought it was a bit of a compromise having just the area of the old big single light to play with.

I'd be very interested to see the finished car
