Discussion
TVR Parts lists these as "no longer available" (see here), so I guess that just leaves breakers and/or fleabay:

Are you still after a set? Mine are all completely knackered, so I've been contemplating coming up with some aftermarket replacements - but wondered what the demand might be for a group buy. I'll try and look into it!
Mine are shot too! I'd be interested in a set depending on price....The originals look naff against my new boot carpet!!Nick
I gave my daughter a challenge with her new 3D printer that she uses for her degree course and my original cup in dark blue, and she managed to print the version shown in black on the right. First attempt printed at 0.2 layer height which can go down to 0.06 to give it smother edges, however once covered in your preferred trim, I am sure you wouldn’t notice it.
How things are changing when you can print your own replacement parts!

Would she produce any more? I'd be interested.How things are changing when you can print your own replacement parts!

I have asked her to print some more 3D cups, so once she has finished her coursework this term which is her main priority and working to fund her degree, she could look at improving the quality of the finish and making adjustments to the sizing.
It takes about 3 hours to print each one so it would good for someone to see if the example she has printed is a suitable replacement and is sturdy for use within the boot space.
I will be travelling between Chelmsford and Sherwood Forrest at weekend, if anyone is available to meet-up and evaluate this, because I don’t want to set peoples expectation that this is a like for like replacement for a volume produced injection moulded cup. This is produced at home and not a commercial 3D printer.

However, I would like an opinion on quality - from whomever does see the cups. Appreciate that they are made on a 'domestic' 3D printer.
Having done a 3rd party appraisal, I'd be up for 4 - if OK. Then we'd need to know a unit price.
Thanks for the update.
