Does anyone know if I can buy chrome or stainless steel dial/speedo/guage surronds or bezels?

I just need them and the Leven handbrake for the interior, then it's time to make the new swithes and switch plate.

I want to get this done soon as I'm going to spend the winter working on the chassis and detailing the engine bay.

Also does anyone have any pics of the Lexus style rear lamp units fitted to an S? Mines dark Silver so I think they would look sweet.

Speedy Cables used to do this.

Have a look through the archives... a guy called PaceRacing had it done, and I took the pics... they'll be on here SOMEWHERE!

That's the smoked rear lights post... not the dial surrounds!

my surrounds were done by speedy cables

my smoked rear lights were from directcarparts IIRC and they had clear ones too...

Blimey Shnozz, it looks as if my car will look the same as yours when finished, I even ditched the veneer dashboard and covered mine in leather (black though) but the interior and boday are the same colours.

Sorry for copying but I've done it subconsiously.

Shnozz - have you got a pic of the rear end that you can actually see!

Interested in seeing smoked rear lenses on a TVR

I have found these, they are a bit expensive but they would look good on a gun metal / silver s3.

These are very similar to the ones on Shnozz's old S, except I don't think he had the internal orange filters on the indicators:



I got them from Nomad Racing - item number 904. £46 including NWD delivery.

I've also recently had my dials done by Speedy.

Dunno how much it costs to have just the bezels done as I had them all refurbished aswell (£270).

When they come back they look like this:



They can't refurbish the clock (mine was knackered) so I had to get a replacement. Handily Speedy can supply a nice replacement with matching bezel for about £50 and it looks like this :
