After months of pondering, I decided to take the plug and went for tvrbodyshop's latest speed 6 front and blended rear light conversion on my Griff.
I got the car back last week and am well pleased with the job. Did a bit of night driving out of town last night, and the new headlights are a massive improvement on the originals, real noticeably on dipped.
What do you reckon?

They had it for 4 weeks in total which I thought was pretty good, and they picked the car up and dropped it off!
The small ones are the side lights with a bulb, Jason told me that he was also doing the same conversion for another customer but had been asked to make the small light an indicator instead which is a nice idea.

Or you could go for the speed six conversion and the Peninsula grill .....

Mine is booked in for the front and rear light conversion in April. Also having it repainted in Halcyon Midas Pearl!
Yours looks superb by the way!
Pedroman, If you don't need a front end repaint they do the conversion for £599 plus the vat. Personaly I find the lights are hugely better than what I had. I know you can get brighter bulbs for the original units, but even though the cost is greater I'm much happy with what I've now got. Here's a link to the different options tvrbodyshop do (www.tvrbodyshop.co.uk/Conversion.asp)
Did you also go for the blended rear conversion?

Ditto optim8 - nose job done last year & blended rear just done, picked up from Jason last Fri, I think it looks the biz. Now back in Spain & heading off today to hook up with the UK TVR crew down at the Guadix circuit for some fun & games tomorrow. Apart from the lights themselves I think the paintwork is top-notch & would have no qualms about recommending Jason to others contemplating similar mods. Just hope the track outing doesn't produce too many nasty stone chips in now-pristine paintwork!

Very nice, it certainly suits it. I've been looking at these mods for a while but still unsure!
I've noticed that the pod style twin light conversion seems to suit some colour griffs better than others. The conversions which have the pods filled in seem to look best on dark coloured griffs but mine being (dare I say) very much a Ferrari red just wouldn't look right, it'd have to retain the pods as per this thread. Certainly better lights would be good.
My only gripe about the griff front end, is those poxy spots. Come on peeps, they're just TOO big and out of proportion. Problem is, do I change them or be a purist and keep everything original ???

I really like the twin pod set up on yours tiny, whats been done to the grill area? it looks like the lights have been binned along with the cross piece
Isnt it a Grill, are the spots behind it, can kinda see something behind it but may be seeing things
Thats one sorted Griffith though Tiny. looks the muts

Apache/BB,
Thanks for your positive comments.
The headlight mod is a TVRbodyshop one which incorporates halogen dip and main beam.
The original main beam spots have been removed but the crossbar remains.The mesh is from Diamond Tweaks and it was cut and fitted by Peninsula.
Apart from the cosmetic impact(eye of the beholder I know! ) this mod coupled with both a Modwise twin stage fan kit and a splitter has resulted in both lower running temp's and improved nose stability at speed!
