Cibie Spot Light Covers ???
Discussion
Does anyone know where there maybe a pair of white Cibie covers for my TVR Wedge, or does anyone have a good pair they want to sell. I have always had these on every Wedge I've owned as I think they look good and protect the lens. I have been searching everywhere and had no luck. Up until recently I never had any problem finding a pair of these as other cars like the old Jaguar XJ6 used to have them as standard. I have looked at Jaguar sites, Auction sites etc. with no luck. If anyone knows of any for sale or want to sell a pair of used ones at a fair price please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Tony, got some black with white writing like these? I prefer them off so I can flash the driving lamps. Any good?
Hi Keith. My car is bright red and black covers with white writing I think would look good. I've only had the white ones up until now, but if you are sure you want to sell them, pm me the details (cost, postage etc.) and we'll take it from there. Thanks for the offer.Tony. TCB.
Hi Keith. Yes, they look like the right size. I have just had a measure up. The larger ones are a lot larger, so these must be the right ones as they are Cibie. Black and silver look good. Black compliments my bright red paintwork and as the car will need coach lines, I may do them in black also to match the light covers and the badges and graphics. If you are sure you won't need them, I would be very grateful to have them. Thanks again.

Say no to the pinstripe 
When you said 'say no to pinstripe' you made me think. A few others sugested the same thing, but if you look down the side of the Wedge there is a raised stripe in the bodywork running all the way down the side. So, all you are doing is highligting the body shape and as it was meant to be there from new, I've decided to go for it. I think black stripes will complement the bright red paint together with all the other black fittings such as light covers and decals. I know it's a matter of preference but I think in my case it's worth doing.Tony. TCB.

I have one white one. I use it to hold small wedge nuts and bolts in the garage ;^)
That is a sign of a well organised home mechanic. I keep my emergency tools for when I need to go out for repairs, in my wife's hand bag. It's much more handy and practical to just pickup and go than a tool box.

Thanks to Keith (KKson) I have a pair of Cibie covers on the Wedge. I only just quickly did a test to see how they look and I'm well impressed. I will be fitting them on permanently later on this week as I may need to use Velcro to keep them securely on. How does that look ???

People either love them or hate them. Personally, I think they suit the car. If my car was a dark colour, I would have wanted white ones, but as my car is bright red, I think black goes well.
It's true you can't use the lights as a spot light with the covers on, but I do believe they were designed such, that when you flash, it is visible through the cover. So, giving way, thanking, etc should still be possible. But, above all else, I like the look and it protects the lights.
