Why not paint them yourself and save some money?

Surely they're just the usual matt black finish.

TVR-specific - standard 16" jobbies won't work too well as they are not curved sufficiently to meet the windscreen all the way across.

That said, IIRC desipte being a TVR-specific part, they're quite reasonably priced...

Key them up? Sorry to be so thick, but do you mean some sort of primer?

I've just had a chat with the lovely lady from Leven on a related matter, and she tells me they will be releasing a new wiper mechanism that promises to follow the curves of the chimp windscreen ... should be out in around 2 weeks and cost somewhere around £45, including all bits and bobs ... phone them for more details

Do you know if this will include their washer system as well?
