clear indicators...

[bellerophon]

does anyone know if or where you can get clear front indicators for the chimaera? sure i haver seen them somewhere..

Ta.

[tvrheart]

Dealers, who in turn get them from the factory, when the factory decide to supply them. They seem to be hard to get hold of at the moment (understatement??!!). They were also used on military Land Rovers which may help if you know the right people.
Or you could improvise, 75mm diameter glass objects!

Iam sorted and the cost £0.80p + orange bulbs. Although, iam not sure clear lenses would suit all.A frosty effect might be more suitable, as iam sure these are.

[tarco]

David can you send me some picys too please to [e-mail]. Is this side or front indicator lenses??

cheers

David - Me too if you don't mind? Address in my profile. I've been wondering about clears for a while now.

Just ordered mine from Auto post, funny how he knew what car I had when i mention clear (frosted actually) indicators, £ 16.95 a set. Been wanting to do that mod for ages but did'nt want to spend 100's as quoted by TVR. Cheers lads

If you check out Jon's Chimaera under http://go.to/tvrbristol there are some piccies showing his clear indicators.

One of the piccies (SilChimFR), shows them in their original orange.

I think the clear indicators look far nicer....

If you look at the images of the "Last 100 Griffith" on TVR's web site www.tvr.co.uk/graphics/griffith/griff100/grif100_f_lge.jpg it appears that the clear indicators are similar to those on the Tamora i.e. clear glass "eye-ball" types with a metal surround, whereas there have been Chimaeras and Tuscan fitted with 75mm clear plastic indicator covers for some years. Does anyone know how easy it is to retro-fit what I will call the Tamora style ones? R...

[Lensey]

Would these 75mm ones from Auto Post fit onto a griff?

[MikeyT]

OK, we've sussed out the front indicator replacements, but what about the side repeaters that go on the front wing ... anyone any ideas?

I think I've seen them in blue (trefor?)

[olly]

Side ones are easy.... Ford Fiesta ! So a quick trip to Halfords and £12-25 depending on make/colour you go for....

Is that just the lense, as in the glass part, or the complete lamp?
Just curious as if it's just the lense, mine are well-bonded to the lamp asembly and would be a mission to change.

Thanks Olly, I'll take a look.

As for the round front ones, are they difficult to remove?

[Corin Denton]

Now we've got getting the lenses sussed , how do we fit them , mine are bonded to the extent that I am going to damage on removal , is there a chemical to de-bond them ?

I have my clear indicators on my griff with LEDs but iam not happy with "boy racer" blue side repeaters, where can i get clear ones? I can LED them but cant find them.

Most car accessory shops - the sort that do go-faster bits for want of a better expression. In my experience it would be worth trying 2-3 shops as prices can vary a lot. Wouldn't mind seeing some pics of the LEDs working once you have the clear ones fully sorted.
Hope this helps,
Chris

I have bored so many before, my fronts are done, all LEDs. I have now sourced the side repeaters,all i need to do is make sure they fit! And they are completely clear,no boy racer blue. I will see if the orange bulbs can be seen, if they can then LED them i will.
