Ok just recently bought an S3

[SteMart]

This is a very stupid question, leven tech used to sell an aluminum handbrake handle anyone know where i might get one from? Also i need a new front indicator lens or pair? Im presuming it will be eaiser to find the missing faberge eggs the these TVR parts!!!

Indicator lenses were dirt cheap until supplies ran out and now unobtainable unless you're prepared to pay silly money. I recall reading that somebody had manufactured a limited number of new parts molded from the originals but they were quite expensive too. Various people have replaced them with slightly different designs from other manufacturers and some of those IMO look every bit as good as the originals at much more reasonable prices.

[SteMart]

As i thought!!! 🙄 do you know where i could start looking ?

Pistonheads has lots of past threads covering this but the site's search functions aren't great. I find Google search is a far easier way to search the site. This Google search expression will take you to numerous related threads:

You can fit Kia Pride or BMW 3-series E30 lenses, both very cheap and readily available on eBay.

If you use BMW E30 units you can fit clear lenses and make use of the side light fitted in them.

Easy to do and, to be blunt, looks fine.

Nothing looks as good as the "real thing", those who say otherwise are just trying to convince themselves


I might be persuaded to reduce my stocks................... but they won't be cheap!

If you are looking to reduce stock Mike, I could help you liquidise some of your assets.

Are you thinking of retiring Mike?
