I'm certainly interested in having polycarbonate lenses that are an accurate replacement for the original glass - surely these will be less likely to chip etc. than glass?
I'd like them to look as original as possible, i.e. with the white lines.

The only thing that's been stopping me is "if it ain't broke..." and fortunately so far, my glass ones are just fine, with only one of them starting to show some slight delamination or fogging at the very bottom. When that's got too bad, polycarbonate for me, please - especially if it's cheaper than the original glass.

Truth is in general no one with a GTA seems to want to spend any money on them (or has no money to spend on them) and even if someone has already developed or sourced a replacement part they will just go and do it all again to try and save 10p.

By comparison the Clio V6 owners have bought 96 yes NINETY SIX alloy wheels in the last two months and as a result funded the transport for all the GTA / A610 parts.

I have seen this so many times at 21TOC people want the trick bits but dont want to or dont have the money to pay for them, they all sound keen but whenit comes to putting the dosh down for 20 orders to make them affordable 2 people step up to the mark :lol:

The cars are affordable to buy now, but not when they were new....unfortunately the parts are still priced accordingly :shock:

PS its a club not a business run in peoples spare time.

A ruler/masking tape and a bit of white paint is all you need. :lol:

Stephen any news on those bushes?


Yes they are here in my living room. Do you want one or two?

You need one for the gearbox end and one for the gear lever end but the gear lever one is often OK.
