Sorted front indicator lenses
Discussion
You star....
My neighbour has a Kia Pride and sure enough the lenses fit the recess nicely.
Just one thing - how did you removed the orange lens from the TVR/Sherpa ones? Mine seem to be bonded on. The Kia reflectors are too deep and protrude from the recess so the it doesn't look like I can use them.

I went and removed my neighbours indicator again ( I'm sure she understands - her "boys" has just collected a Ford Dexta tractor to restore..) and discovered that there a spacer at the rear of the reflector that comes off and now the whole unit is only 15mm deep. Looks very likely that you could use the whole Kia unit if needed.
I think I have found another possible candidate - all I know is that the orange lens is the right size and the distance between the screw holes is correct. I measured it at a car show yesterday. I haven't taken one off yet to check the reflector size etc...
Not that common a car though, but maybe more in scrapyards than Kia Prides...
I'll try to check before I give a definite.

I meant that I think that the Jaguar XJS fits - I measured the screw centres and overall size and it looks right.
Obviously, as I said, I have now ordered Kia ones so won't be following this up (unless they don't fit!), but if anybody else wants to give it a try...
You lot are wasted on TVR ownership. Talk about resourceful.
The only thing that would grate with me is the visible gap behind the rubber bumper bit. Bet you can't source a piece of something that covers that.
(gauntlet thrown down)
Does this open the possibility of finding a clear lens ( do BMW E30 clear lenses fit - even the clear Toyota Hilux ones look close?) Or is that a bit too Lax Power?
