Don't know a source (but would try Bristol Cars Services, always). Mine don't fit well and I have been told it is because the windscreens have been removed at some stage and they have bent the underlying brass channel out of shape when re-fitting.

Anyone know the source of the chrome rims to the front headlamps?
No, but I could do with one as well.

Anyone upgraded the door mirrors to electric? - I thought XJS or S3 XJ6 would fit perfectly with the toggle switch in drivers door. Views on this? I do find it rather difficult not having remote on the passenger side.
Yes. see http://www.bristolcars.info/forums/8...trim-mods.html

That's not my car in the photos (sadly), but it's where I first saw them.

Centre badges for hubcaps. Should these be plain chrome or coloured eg orange?
Depends which wheels you have. I gather the plain chrome are hard to come by (I have a set but theyre not for sale). I bought a set of orange ones from Bristol Cars Services about 10 years ago, circa £25 each at the time. I currently have Avon wheels on mine with the pentagon shaped badges, which I believe were made specifically for those wheels.

Sensible wheel upgrades also considered - I have seen Jag wheels on a couple of 411s. Is the PCD the same?
I would go for the Blenheim (S2?) wheels used on the S6. I think they suit the car really well and they are Bristol wheels.
