Replacement Rear Lights

[OilBoy]

this question has probably been asked a million times before, but does anyone know where I can get my 1997 rear lights changed for the new style ones?

found a couple of places, but living in London, I don't fancy driving stupid amounts of miles to get it done.

any ideas?

[M@H]

I prefer the old ones.. !

Spotted these a few weeks ago, go to Fiesta 3, and click on clear and smoked,

Different but I'm just not sure

There are other alternatives to consider, like the Zertec Afterburners.

Anyone got a price for the new style TVR lamps, the multi-round style ones?

[OilBoy]

i know that Peninsula and TVR Bodyshop do retro fitting of new style lights, but need to find somewhere closer to London....

Try tvrbodyshop.co.uk seem to do lots of them & the finished result is superb.

looking at the afterburner lights, I see they come in black, can you colour code them to match the car?? or do they hav eto stay black...I have seen original late style lights that re both black surround(and not on a black car before anyone comments) and painted to match the cars body colour...

Wonder if Zertec copyrighted the Afterburner name...?

See here for an alternative!

[manek]

EEK. Why would you do that -- to a Fiesta?!!

No, you can spray them up ro match your car's colour. Ask Pinkney, he did them for my, sorry his, Cerb.

You want to see the price of the Zertec ones!!

Still gonna get some tho' sometime

I've seen a Festa with those clear back lights and IMHO it looked

The smoke ones are not so bad but not as good as Zertec afterburners!

Yep, fairly easy to do a well, just unscrew the lights from the pod and follow the instructions on the aerosol paint can re painting and preparation of gelcoat surface. Hardest part is probably getting a match for the colour - turns out that TVR Antique Turquoise is very similar to Vauxhall Caribic Blue. IMO looks far better than leaving black. Will get some pics up later if anyone's interested.

P.S. how do you think it will affect the resale value Mikey

P.P.S. NTL Digital TV internet is shite, shift button is broken so can't type question marks, pound symbols, brackets, colons or smilies, bugger1

Edited to say, apologies for language but can't type stars, exclamation marks etc. so have to write them out in full.

Geek alert...

You could try holding down the Alt key and on the keypad (not the ones above your letters) type

0163 which will give you a £

I think it's gone thru the floor Dan ...

You can get repair panels from TVR, much cheaper

Then just bond them in layer up some glass fill, prime, undercoat and laquer them, blend the laquer with the surrounding paintwork, buy some light units from either TVR or landrover, fit them, rework the wiring loom, test it all and put the glass back in

Easy..
