Morning Gents,

Cheers
Steve

Powers do them cheaper but only on an exchange basis. So that they can refurb / resilver the old ones I expect:

We had a pair of freshly silvered ones off Powers last year so if they silvered ours old ones they may still have them.

Racetech sell a LHD version with modification instructions for £67 + vat.
Mod is easy to do (drill some holes) and they fit fine.

Steve, as Steve_d says Racetech do the LHD version which you can convert. I did mine this year to get through the MOT. Looking to change to faired headlights shortly, so if you are interested in my reflectors let me know. I work in Birmingham if you are anywhere close.

I've just this week posted my reflectors off to a guy in Ely who has offered to re-silver them. When I get them back I'll report on quality and final price but I'm expecting something less than £50 per bowl.

As a non-TVR owner I'll ask the question to which I probably already know the answer smile......
Is there a complete replacement unit available that would be cheaper?

I was thinking a standard 7" unit - but seeing the close up view I guess they aren't

That price sounds about right then delivery/return on top

I know a firm on south coast who did mine if any one needs another option

When I took mine off last year I put the part number into google. They are porsche 964 reflectors. They can be brought from ebay for about £60.

Much cheaper than tvr ones
