Factory upgrade
Discussion
Had new brake/wheeel factory upgrade yesterday and looks the dogs. 16" wheels all round, 4 new Toyas and brakes look better with TVR logo on calipers. All in was £1800 and took 9 hours but was only charged for 7. Mine was first customer car they'd done but reckon about 7 or 8 hours for next ones. Well worth the money and give car good look over as well.

What colour wheels did you you get?
Have no pics as still use a Brownie box camera! Wheels are silver and just look much bigger in arches. Front brake discs look huge and with yellow TVR logo on calipers. Only drove it back to Liverpool so cannot comment on any major differences yet. As get 4 new wheel bearings, brakes all round, braided hoses, wheels and tyres is really good deal. Trouble now is car is kangarooing down the road and just managed to get it home. bastard thing.

Got a Halcyon Midas 500 in the pipeline and have ordered the kit with Anthracite wheels.Also getting the dealer to do a headlamp conversition at the same time.

That £1399 for the kit, plus fitting I think.

I think the confusion stems from Sprint reporting it as £1399 including VAT and fitting. It was reported on Pistonheads as £1399 including VAT for the kit, fitting extra.
EDIT: Ok - I just checked last night. It just says £1399 inc VAT for the kit in sprint, nothing about fitting, which is strange as I thought I'd seen it written somewhere as £1399 inc VAT and fitting, but knew it to be wrong.

Does anybody know if you can get the brake upgrade but keep your existing wheels?
I prefer the wheels on my Chim 500but would like the brake upgrade.

Unfortunately I can't afford the swap at the moment, business is a bit shaky.

Sorry but the the point I was making is that the conversion includes replacing your hubs with the necessary 5 stud ones to accept the Spider wheels, therefore - of course - the disc-rotors and bells will also be 5 stud pattern. Conversly your existing 4 stud pattern discs will not fit the converted hubs. Rich...
