First Modded TVR?

Post by yakboy »

Well guys...Not got around to reviewing the Bonzermat pro yet, not 'cos I'm a lazy arse but because I've been working on this....

Started out with one of the 2 TVR bodies that are in the Bonzer racing TVR set as so......
Image

Took off the rear spoiler and tab lowered the body. Junked the wheels in favor of some rims from Hot Wheels Accelerators (The hard plastic tyres needed to be removed carefully from the rims and the rims were then narrowed...a right git of a job the took about 1 hour a wheel but it was worth it).
Image
Real TVR's have front projector headlights so I couldn't resist putting in 4 LED lights to complete the look. The multiple rear lights were drilled out to emphasise them and painted on the inside of the body.
Image
Image
I originally wanted to use mirage colour change spray for the body but couldn't find it in the UK so settled for a pearlescent purple instead which I think suits the lines well
Image
Well I hoped you like that and I hope my pimping is improving (still a way to go before I reach the dizzy heights of you pro's out there)

Ditto, looks good. I'm always a sucker for lights when they're done good.
Nice choice killing off the spoiler.

Nice job Yak. Cool to see a "street" version of that ride. The headlights I must say are off the hook. Couldn't even tell they were in till I saw the pic w/ the lights on. So why isn't that in the year end contest???? :???:

Yeah no shit. I am tired of telling some of you newer pimps to have faith in your work and see what happens. Jeese, and like I said, this rear there is the "random prize" Like Clint would say "Do it!" (ok wrong movie, same actor that he looks like 8-) )

Cheers Guy's I'll give it a go, it's "elementary" don't you know. (Although the other S Holmes never said that in the books....not surprisingly I'm a big Sherlock Holmes fan...& I have even worked with a Dr Watson..... :grin: Yes really....although I'm a Dr not a Mr now)
