PPC at Melton now own the Leven brand. Don't think they are doing many S parts but worth checking with them.

I researched this a few months ago and can confirm that Leven is now in the hands of some new owners who have a number of designs for S Series alloy parts; not many of which are stocked. Understandably, it is only profitable for them to produce stock in batches of about 10 or so - therefore the S Series suffers from being such a low production model whose owners are perhaps not into 'blinging' in the same way that Chim and Griff owners are.
Give them a call by all means; they are very knowledgeable and willing to help. I found that the only stock they held that I wanted is generally cross-over from other TVR models. For example, all I bought in the end was 7 x Alloy Windsceen Air Vents which have a very nice finish and fitted perfectly.
For the remaining plastic trim parts I sent a number off to metal coating companies but the result was that the parts are too small for the procedure and would probably distort. In the end, I had them sprayed with paint (quite common procedure found online - essentially sand, prime, sand, paint, lacquer) to a metal-effect. I'm happy with the result. The black gauge bezels were modified by SpeedyCables and are now brushed aluminium from the Smiths Telemetrix range.

David
