Chimera / Griffith door reflectors - getting some made.

[black_potato]

Its probably no surprise but these are on their way out on my car.

After a look through the old threads on here and a few googles they see to be like rocking horse £$%^

It also looks like the expensive Ali ones are no longer made...

So I asked a man who knows and I could get some 3D printer or even injection molded but the initial prototype is £100-150. after that they get a lot cheaper depending on volume.

I'd consider getting some made if I could gauge interest.... Not sure final price but around £20-25 probably for a pair posted etc..

thoughts ?

They are reputed to be off an XJ6? Or from here. http://www.racetechdirect.co.uk/car-parts/body-tri...

Despite the thread title, is this a Griffith only feature? My last 2 Chimaera haven't had these reflectors fitted.

They perhaps got taken off for paintwork and weren't replaced.

Ahh.. there are still some out there.

I guess these would be half the price but may not be worth the hassle unless there is a lot of interest ?

On the surface there doesnt seem to be a rush

Chap on the Facebook TVR Griffith site did some last year for a tenner, I have messaged to see if he has any left.

If you want original............ clicky


I've asked, they can't improve postage cost

[dnb]

I had a batch made a year or so ago. I could always do another set if there's interest. (They were well priced compared to the competition at £10 + postage per pair since I didn't need to commit too much NRE.)

Just to confirm these are the same as jaguar series 3 xj6/12 except the jaguar ones light up when the door is opened (provided the wiring is completed)
I would assume they are an old British leyland part and may have been fitted to a few of their other cars from way back when

I'd happily take a set.
Or if you dont want to pay for the batch feel free to pm me if you dont mind passing on the details.

Hallo,

I had some alu surrounds made up with a courtesy ligt.
This uses the ORIGINAL reflector glass.
So it looks/is as original
The wiring is already in the car.
Have a few sets left.
Will try to post a pic tomorrow.
Looks very nice.
You can reach me through my profile./

Good upgrade with the powered versions. They are the same as a Range Rover classic item fitted to vogue se
