+2 side and rear light refurbishment.

• Page 1 of 1
I am three quarters way through a full restoration of a plus 2S, and am looking for advice on how to freshen up the sidelights and rear light clusters. These have a bit of pitting, and could do with being rechromed. Also I could do with renewing the actual lenses as these have become a bit faded and cracked with age!
Can anyone tell me where I can buy just the lenses, and where I could get the shells redone.
Got a bit of a fright when I saw the prices for complete new units at about ?190 a corner from Paul matty's!!
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Paul also sells just the lenses. I have bought front lenses from him.
Rechroming the monkey metal lights is another story.
They can be rechromed but it is expensive and the results are hit and miss. I think the best way it to repair the chrome is with a chrome vinyl wrap.

SJSportscars sells the rear lenses for ?36.50. I am pretty sure Paul sells them as well.
