And then theres the fun of fitting it, I gave up. 
It's quiet easy after practice.I tend to push bottom part of mesh in the gasket and bend it a bit to push one corner in.
Then with a flat blade screwdriver lever mesh and gasket with a wiggle effect levering until you reach the other corner.
With a new gasket i would use some soapy liquid to help abit and then when it rains you can have some bubbles

[quote=awager]Anyone any idea where I may be able to get a new seal for the front grill of a 95 Chimaera
I have tried TVRparts and Clever Trevor but don't see anything listed on the sites.
Hi there,
You may want to consider an alternative. Having changed my, indicator glasses for clear lenses recently, I thought there must be an easier way than to struggle with that rubber.
I purchased some black trim (comes in a roll) which looks like grommet strip from Halfrauds.
Firstly I cleaned and painted the grill and then fitted the strip. It needs a bit of help to flex to the curves, so I used a hair driver and stuck it as I went with superglue.
The grill now fixes with just two black self tappers and looks in my opinion so much better.
I should say I have the earlier Chim.

Hmmm - I was going to have a look at what else I could use as it is a right pain refitting.I have tried TVRparts and Clever Trevor but don't see anything listed on the sites.

one of my indicators popped and I had to fit it back yesterday for the drive home. The rubber is a bit split etc and wanted a new one but might have a look at alternatives.
tks for the suggestion.
