Two completely different animals there Panic, so its a bit difficult to pick one.
If you have the original bonnet the unstickered version would look the biz with it back on and would be my favourite out of the two.

A couple of questions
Who makes the silver wheels?
Whats the purpose of the bonnet bulge - something interesting going on on the induction side?

The wheels are from Rimstock and i bought them from Tim of ACT, the scoop on the bonnet is to give fresh air to the K&N air filter which is fixed on the AM (which on the LHD version is on the passenger side...) and goes streight to the triple carbon intake.

Looks fantastic with or without the stickers, panic! Love the black bonnet. Saw your clips on youtube a few weeks ago - sounds great.

Out of interest, what seats have you got? Looks like there is not much clearance with the interior. Were they easy to fit?

Thanks...

Seats are Sparco rev pro, they fit perfectly ...just need to adapt the alu support a bit but there is room enough and they give you a safe feeling while driving around bends...

Prefer it without stickers too....

Panic... what's going on ? A few months back you wanted to strip it down and turn it into a lightweight roadster with cut off screen, flared arches etc (in which case the stickers look good).

Now you've stripped the stickers, put the roof back on... ?!?! It's like you're making it near original/normal again !?! wink

You're right...but, believe it or not, all happened because the rims producer (Rimstock) made a mistake on the new rims color, i requested satin black (that would have matched with a roaster style griffith with lots of stickers, no roof and the rollbar at sight...) but he sent me a brilliant silver ones so to make the griffith match the rims I have taken away all stickers and put back the roof...

IMHO Black rims just dont look good on any car - silver much better.

Do you mean that the place where is the plate number is a bit inside the body?
Sorry, maybe i don't get what you mean....

Might be wrong but it's probably a requirement for the foreign market ? I imagine that TVR had to make cars for export abroad that complied with foreign regs, i.e. plate lit from above, not back lit.

I think you're right, it must be to comply the italian regulamentation.
