One of my Griff 500 door reflectors has broken and fallen off. I did search this topic before I posted!

The first suggestion was dealers have them - my dealer (Castle) didn't have one - and couldn't get one. The other option suggested was a website that no longer seems to exist.

Anyone know somewhere that might still have one in stock?

Just been into Leven and they have just had delivery of their own door reflectors.
Not plastic but an ali surround so no cracking!

Photo below of one. Ignore the black part it's resting on, its just there to show the screws!



Sorry about the picture quality, taken using my phone.
It comes in black also.

So.......what colour would people prefer?

We in the process of sorting out the price, it all come down to batch sizes, anodising and fastners.
They will come complete with stainless steel screws (the head can be blacked if required) and Allen key. There will be a backing plate to fit inside the door panel so no concerns about matching existing holes in doors panels.
We will be taking samples to both Rockingham and the Griffith Growl and the price will be fixed by then. We will take orders at both events, there will be some available for immediate delivery. Any additional orders will take about 3 weeks to complete. Depending on demand these parts may be made to order in batches or a stock item.

Hi Simon,

The picture looks like the red reflector has a hole behind it. Ie. it is showing a bit of the black tubey thing through it - is this the case??

....Just wondering if I can fit some LEDs behind the unit as well???

ps. they look great though as they are, please put me down for the silver ones.

Doesn't this cause an issue with the fixing screw that lurks behind the reflector?
