Broken tailgate reflector

Post by anucatone » Thu Jan 12, 2012 2:18 pm

Hi all,

"Someone" reversed into a bollard and broke the orange rear reflector strip. The question is: can I just replace the orange bit, or do I have to fork out for an entire panel like the one below?

The rear panels are made of several components so could potentially be repaired, but you'd be lucky to find someone who's prepared to strip one down for you. It's quite a simple job to replace the whole panel. Try Kevin at Southern Bongos as he's likely to have one for reasonable money.

Hi , I'm going to Bongobits tomorrow, which bit are you looking for. I'm travelling up to Weybridge on Saturday so if they have the part we could meet somewhere.
