Does anyone know where I can get the little red door reflectors screwed to the bottom rear of the doors?

Mine have taken a kicking

Mine too - took the RH door inner off the other night and the reflector disintegrated into a billion pieces. Although given that the doors only open about 5 degrees I doubt the reflectors are much use for approaching traffic anyway.....

Yep,
I recently got 2 new ones from a TVR dealer about 3 quid each I think. They don't appear to come from another car manufacturer - no part numbers on them.

Ours keep breaking and falling out. Ithink it is because the surface isn't flat and as they are plastic they just break. Ours has Brycrest (the supplier) written on it. Opportunity for someone to produce an alley one???

Bought mine from our dealer, about 3 euros for 2. The surface is not flat so screwing them on to tight will result in breaking the reflector or the screwholes. I put some silicon underneath and tightened them loosely, they are on the car now for more than three years, no problems.

They seem to use countersunk screws on a flat component, sugest using cheese head screws instead, spread the load a bit.
