Im going to the Enfield motor pageant this weekend which has a massive autojumble. Can anyone tell me what car the front indicators come from as one of mine is cracked and im after a replacement.
Also can anyone confirm if the cibies on a 400 are the "Airport 35" type ?

The rears are Renault Fuego BUT I think they are upside down and swapped sides. So get a pair.

They are deffo upside down on my car (1985 390SE). There is a passive reflector with a label on it "Top", this is upside down and at the bottom.
These lenses were replacements from a Renault garage after an off at Silverstone in 1986.
On my car the lenses have the indicators and reversing bits at the top (and are wider at this point.
Definitely a different orientation from

The front suspension is MK2 Granada/Cortina MK5 but I believe the springs are TVR specific. To be honest I am not sure it's worth trying to pick them up second hand when they are only £20 each new.

Hold on......I thought you said springs in your post....not shocks. They are indeed £75-95 each and again they are TVR specific.

Are you talking about springs or dampers? The original dampers were Armstrong and haven't been available since about 1992 so Mr RT is right once again. Konis and AVOs are available though. The indicator lenses are froom a mid life Renault 12.
