While removing my pasenger door trim to adjust the window, The little reflector on the back of the door broke. This insignificant item serves no purpose other than to conceal one of the fixing screws, but it sure looks crap without it. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? Craig

Link to page describing the reflectors is here

I've seen them and they do look quite nice but not sure if they're worth it for a part that is still available in
it's original form.

Griffith Door Reflectors - M0354

This part is no longer available so we have decided to manufacture by machining a small quantity from solid alloy with a high quality reflector. The shape and look is close to the original and fits with minor modification and some improvement. Breakage should be a thing of the past. The finish will be to our standard anodised alloy style to compliment stalks handbrakes etc. or for those who prefer closer to original in anodised black. Both come with red reflectors. Price has been finalised at £37.50 per set complete with fixings and tools.

I got one from TVR Car Parts last year - might be worth asking them.

...and your point is?

Regardless of what Leven claim the original part is still available from Jag suppliers and ebay

My point is ... rolleyes As your link didn't help I tried to make it clear what was on offer at LT. I quoted from their website - I did not comment on the veracity of their statement.
Does that point meet with your approval?

Sorry Grover, when I made and checked that link it went to the relevant page, must have been cached on my machine.

I apologise. biggrin

Not necessary. As I was writing I kinda guessed it was just a combination of your 'forthright Northern ways' tongue out and not realising how poorly set up the LT website is but I'd just found out the knobheads "blowing my fibre" have fukt up big time ranting so I wasn't in the right frame of mind.
No harm done. wink
