Front indicator lens (again)

[The Stiglet]

It's been smashed (again) in the same place. Totally destroyed this time by a garage I got to MOT the car about 5 weeks ago - I can't prove it was them as they sellotaped the whole thing back together and it must have taken ages. I didn't see it when I did my inspection. The reflective plastic bit the lens is attached to is also broken and won't take the screws into the body work properly. I had BMW 3 series lenses on but where can I get the relflective holder bit? Will the BMW entire parts just fit on?

Pierce,

Bad luck seems to follow you - note to self: if in convoy be ahead of Pierce

IIRC the back of the BMW does not fit, nor does the Kia only the maverick, teranno ones fit as a oner

Seconded, the maverick/terrano full unit fits as thats what I have put on mine but if ya get some from a scrappy get the electrial plugs too, you WILL need them.

[The Stiglet]

Ha! Tell me about the bad luck Mark...I've been thinking the car was cursed - seriously. Hopefully the little beast will be cured when I pick her up today and I should have a fantastic example of an S. It really doesn't help being in London where people don't have the same respect for one another like other places in the UK. No one gives two hoots about reversing into your car and then driving off without leaving their details etc etc

Thanks for the help guys

Hi Pierce

I too have one goosed indicator lens and am after a replacement... I have previously been offered a broken one to salvage by the good people on this forum... I'm sure there will be someone out there who has fitted one of the new(made from gold ?)or alternatives recently who has the old one's reflector still in tact that they could give/sell you so you can effect your repair...

I'm still after one too guys - a broken flange is OK for me as I intend to grind off the flanges anyway. I will pay a sensible price and any postage of course... sort Pierce out first though as mine is still road legal at the minute...

Very kind squire Kevin. Did I mention that I have a spare indicator lens that I took off the other light when I put the BMW's on?


Do you need that?

[ketvrin]

no you didnt... if the lens is intact (except for the flanges - which dont matter to me) then I would happily take that off your hands to replace my knackered lens.

They must have cottoned onto the fact that these fit the S Series, my pair cost £7.50 delivered!!! These ones do look like they have the essential wiring and plug attached though so easy to fit

[joe.walsh]

ten quid postage!!!!!!!! now that's the sort of bloke that gives ebay a bad name.

Stiglet,

I've got an old one with a badly cracked lens but backshell is 100%, which you can have if you want it.

Let me know.
