Radicast in Sweden used to do them...we got hold of one batch...then they appeared to go AWOL. They must still have the tooling, and I bet it wasn't cheap, so I imagine they *should* be keen to sell more. Wierd.

I'd like a couple of sets, if we can get them to talk again...

cheers

I must say there's one thing I did notice with the clear lenses... they're slightly too big. Suppose that can't be helped when taking a mould from an original. They still look alright though!

To look best I reckon matching rears are required. Obviously that's more complicated though.

I'd be interested in a pair for sure.

Radicast doesn't have the molds anymore, I heared...

What the hell did they do with them? They could have continued to make money on those. Random...!

cheers

In talks with a contact of mine who works at a plastics forming company!

They seem to have changed their name on looking for the website, and there seem to be no parts listed for 340's (and no mention of 360's)

Someone here should have some indicators and rear lights made..

You can make even purple indicators if you wish and it still would have E-approval code in it

I looked up UK distributors, but the cheapest price was about £30 for the plastic and £30 for the mould material, so it would be about £70 overall with postage

You would make several sets though and I'd be tempted to have a go, but I haven't got £70 lying around to burn on a project that might not work

You would need to make front and rear lenses, if someone would sell clear rear clusters it would probably cost something equal or even more to buy them ready.

Also one would have molds then and if there is small accident or misguided creativity of young ones, casting new lenses will be much better than buying as soon it might be not possible to buy lenses at all, not even in original colour.

Also you can use set for much more than car parts

They don't sell it here

did everyone ignore my post?

lol. its not cheap having the moulds made but with at least 30 people intrested in a pair it could be very cheap once the castings done etc. i will be sending him a set soon as he gets some info back to me.
