Default Clear indicator kit - where from in UK?

As someone (Kevin!) kindly pointed out when we met before Christmas, my clear indicators are not terribly clear anymore. They have turned fairly opaque - which although it's quite unique, also looks crap. This was very noticeable yesterday with so many other 964s about.

I can't actually remember where I got my indicators from - but I obviously don't want the same ones again. Any recommendations? I don't care about a price difference of a few pounds - just want some that don't suffer the same way as the ones I have fitted now.

Design 911?
Type 911?
I guess Porsch-Apart might even do them?

Cheers - not used them before. I'll order later - come with silver bulbs so seems like a bargain.

Although they've got a picture of a horrible red 964 on their page to show what they look like. Some bloke named Kevin........

I think type911 has them too and might be cheaper.

Type 911 is cheaper - but Essential Styling include silver bulbs in the price so I've ordered them. Should arrive in the next day or two.

Had same problem with my clear indicators as well.
Ordered new set from PorscheShop, however this only shows up how bad the little inserts between the lamp and reflector is so spend an extra £20 and get these replaced as well.

Not sure what insert you are referring to - is the lens and reflector not all one piece?

I think he means the square reflector between the indicator and the fog light.

Elferteile has a 10 pieces set for 99 euro. I checked out different prices and they seemed to be the best. Don't know about quality though. Shipping charges are 15 euro which would make a total of 79 pounds. I haven't bought anyting there yet but the site gives a solid impression.

Oh, that is called a bumperette I think and is black rubber on US and Canadian versions. So where did you get the clear one from?

I've replaced one before (and need to again actually, due to a crack) and think I got it from Porsch-Apart in the Uk.

Sorry guys, should have been more specific.
I meant the small inserts between fog and indicator and at inner edge of fog, like on DaveK car
