Headlight reflectors
Discussion
Anyone any idea where to get these other than the usual TVR parts suppliers who seem to want approx £130 each? Seems a bit steep especially as I need them both!
I've tried searching for the Bosch part number from the alternative parts thread but can't seem to find a stockist.
Thanks, Duncan

Both my reflectors' silvering is shot through with rust. I was expecting to have to get them changed when the service and MoT are due later this month. The price seems a bit steep, so any info on reducing this by using other non-TVR branded items would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance

To follow on from my earlier posts - I ended up paying for new reflectors from a TVR parts supplier as I couldn't afford the time to take the reflectors out, get them chromed and then put them back in. Below are some pictures of the new reflectors which may help someone find them at a motor factors a bit cheaper. Replacing them was actally a very easy job in my case - probably about 1.5hrs a side.

Hi,Did these reflectors go in a RHD car.
Only asking as the the part number 1 305 324 929 (TVR M0593) relates, according to Racing Green, to LHD.
1 305 314 930 (TVR M0435) is listed as RHD which are a whole lot more expensive and becoming harder to get.
Now maybe its me but, whereas I can understand the lens being different for LHD and RHD cars, it seems odd that the reflectors are sided too.
Cheers,
Simon.

Hi - yes, they went in a RHD drive car. I don't remember there being any difference between them - as you say it seems starnge that the reflectors would be handed.
Many thanks indeed for that.Hopefully gives me another option now, seeing as I have now found the 929`s online (albeit stock/availability not confirmed yet) for around the £30 mark each.
The same supplier had the 930`s advertised at £60 but they have since advised me that they can no longer supply them.
Fingers crossed they can supply the 929`s.
Will update once confirmed either way.
Oooooohhhhh........Prezzies 
Lovely jubbly.
Delivered from Germany within 5 working days.
£82 for the pair, all in.
Came complete with rubber grommets and threaded pins for the mounting screws.
Only physical difference I can see between these (929`s) and the original (930`s) is the positioning of the bulb holder, causing the sidelight to sit directly below the main bulb, in the installed position, as opposed to slightly off-centre.
All mounting points around the bowl are in identical positions.
Here is a pic of the original for comparison.
Car all prepared for fitting - just got to wait for the weekend and hope the weather is kind.
