I've not done a top speed run since the new diff but it'll definitely be less. Not sure I want to. Have had it up to 180 which was enough. The acceleration is noticeably improved though

Tyre profiles look a bit odd?
And rear wheels seem a bit darker than fronts?

Now I know I'm in a tiny minority here, but, I just don't get TVRs.........
I can appreciate that is a lovely example, and doubtless goes like the proverbial sh*t off a sh***l, and sounds amazing, but I think it's bordering on kitcar ugly.
As they all are. Sorry, but I feel better for getting that off my chest.

Yeah, I have the same thing with Silver VX's. 
I blow hot and cold on TVR's but I do think the 350 is the best looking car they made and would probably be the only one I'd ever risk any money on. If I ever totally took leave of my senses.

JG! Don't get me started on the tyres!!! My blood is still boiling about how much I have struggled to get tyres for the damn thing. AD08s are on out of necessity rather than choice. Had a set of FZ-201 on order which was delayed 12 weeks so changed to R888 which was delayed 6-10 weeks and ended up with the AD08s because that's all I could really get. The rears are 245/40/18 and should be 255/35/18 but just couldn't get them. Trust you to notice the odd profile though. I don't mind spending the cash on good rubber but I don't really like spending so much on rubber I don't really want.

The old Toyo TR1s were illegal so needed prompt replacement with anything remotely suitable.
The wheels are the same colour - must just be the lighting

I'd hardly call Yoko AD08 pikey Joe!! Rich coming from you with all your 2nd hand tyres! 
Can't wait to get some Bridgestone RE55s on or the FZ-201s if they ever make the 225/40 mould that they are promising

They don't do a 255/35/18 rear for me though Joe :-( would have tried them otherwise. They don't do a 255 and their 245 is a 35 profile which makes my rolling radius too small.
I'm kind of considering 19 inch wider wheels but can't find anything I like as much as the spiders which I
