They were available from through the dealer network, however i'm not sure if they can get any with the current factory situation. One of the guys on here (DJC) posted a while ago about getting some made and supplying direct, but i can't find the thread at the moment.

I'd like a set for my Tuscan, so i'll wait and see what DJC comes up with.

In discussions with a manufacturer about having them made atm.
Also investigating having the silver/chrome badge holders made, but non corroding ones.

Anybody want anything else made?

I quite like the boot handle you get on the Sagaris. Don't have one on my T350 although I do have the finger recess in the bodywork so it's not too bad.

Not sure if the boot handle from a Sagaris is directly compatable, they look pretty cool though...

There's a guy in newcastle who has the sagaris boot handle on his T350.
I've seen it and it looks really smart, and was told it would probably only cost about £60!

If a batch can made for a reasonably sum, then yes the unit price to the consumer is looking at £60. If not, or a smaller batch, then you are probably looking at £100.

My Sag came without the alloy stalk covers - my dealer got them for me FOC. They were retailing at ~£80 for the set. I fitted them myself though as there would have been labour involved.

You have to cut the wiper stalk to shape to fit inside the recess for the washer button. It was a bit fiddly and was easiest to remove the stalk from the car for cutting with a hacksaw. Some little black screws hold the leather steering coloumn shroud in place - undo these, disconnect the stalk electrical mulitpug and then release the whole stalk complete with switch from the steering column.

The indicator alloy cover can be fitted in situ though. I dabbed a bit of glue on both to keep them in place.

On the plus side, my Sag came with the alloy rear window lifter, and I think it looks lovely. Dealer mentioned it was ~£100 as an accessory!

Bobd on here, also in N.I. had one fitted to his T350 recently along with the alloy fuel cover from the Sag - very nice.

BTW Bob, what about that rear badge surround - you can email me if you like!

Gary.

Not sure I would change the fuel cap (even though the sagaris one looks amazing)... I think the T350 is pretty nifty operating from inside, its part of the car's make-up.

Think Bob's is the only one and he said it wasn't an easy job - needs to be rolled (curved) into shape to fit the T350 curved wing whereas Sag alloy filler cover is mounted on a flat surface.

I got the factory to fit the Sag boot handle on my t350 the week before it was closed thumbup
Came in two parts the handle you see on the outside and then the boot pin on the inside.
Looks great and means there are two less plastic screw covers to find when mine eventually fall off

Right well spoke to the man who can/will/does today and kicked off the Sagaris alloy handle project. As for stalks and the badge surround, with a bit of luck, we should be good in a cpl of weeks or so to produce some for those who have emailed me they need some.
