Any comments on the new headlights on www.tvrbodyshop.co.uk

[M@H]

not convinced.. smacks of all those Nova and 205 kits that Laaaaads buy to "look cool"..

Thats just my opinion though..
Cheers

I'll reserve judgement until I have seen a few better pictures, also those prices seem to relate to Cerbera / Chimaera jobs seeing as there is no blending in to be done with the Griff's headlamp covers? Rich...

[darrenlens]

Yer, I'm not really sure about them either. I think I would have to wait and see them in the flesh?

[Stig]

Either way, they've gotta work better than the original ones!

No, no, no, no, no, no.......NOOOOOO!!!!

What have they done????

Well OK they can't be less effective than the original but no comparison to a "proper" Zertec job!

[sipow]

Dont like them what so ever,look a waste of time hidden behind the lens.Zertecs flush ones looks better,even thoug i'm not overkeen on them.
To me it seems to ruin the character of the Griffith/Chimeara.But then thats just IMO.

I think they look good and personally prefer them to the Zertec conversion!
What i'm really interested in though, is clear front indicators. Someone must do 'em!!!!

[simont]

How much?

Yep.. as I pointed out in the other one... I don't know which one to follow now....

[richb]

Well as "Webby" from the TVR BodyShop started the other thread perhaps stick to that one www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=9&t=8388

Griff - WHY!!!???
Chimp - Not To bad from picture but in the flesh (Combe) NO - Mine are staying as they are...

I think if you are going to do it, this is the way, all they need to do now is an after burner style light for the rear but under a perspex cover that is the same shape as the venerable cavalier unit..

This way you can always keep the original pods and convert back. Any change like this will always effect resale, not value but ease of sale as you reduce your possible market as demonstrated by this thread.

... However.... mine's staying original thanks!

Tbh i think that is the point. I can see that some of these add ons are quite good and may well look nice but I just wouldn't trust buying a non original car. Dunno why I just wouldn't.

These cars need to left exactly as God intended I reckon. Apart from stupid exhausts of course

Now if God had intended stupid exhausts he wouldn't have footled around with stupid EU regulations, allowed numpties to be created on the ninth day, or allowed cats......

......ergo you must have to be atheist to drive a TVR.

Let's face it, as Einstein once pointed out, "PW does not play dice" (Mind you Einstein was known to be wrong about one or two things.)
