Sidler Euro Front Signal Lenses

[HB Chris]

I am taking orders for these newly made by a friend lenses that are to my eye a dead ringer for the original but not available lenses. Please start a Conversation with me so I can keep track of truly interested buyers. The last photo shows a single original next to a pair of new lenses. Cost will be $250 for a pair plus shipping, initial sales will be CONUS only but I will sell overseas if there is enough interest. US coupes with the bulging lenses can use these by simply Dremeling down the plastic reflector, no screws or seal is provided either.

Great execution. These look fanstastic!

Any chance the might be produceable in a clear version?

At the risk of sounding like the fun police suggest you remove the BMW logo going forward, or you may have IP issues. They look amazing though.

 

[HB Chris]

I will stay low key on the BMW part although I removed it from title, thank you! Yes, we can make them in clear for the same price. Italian is also possible for a small amount more although the orange will be applied with paint after molding as that is the only way it can be done.

Great job, Chris. They look like a perfect match. These are much nicer than the fatter US versions.

Keep the logo. Run the parts. Sell to the community. Don’t answer the phone.

Nicely made!

 

[HB Chris]

Nicely made!

I installed a set on my coupe, the fit is excellent or I wouldn’t bother. One set sold, one more pair available before we make more.

 

[HB Chris]

I have a request for the Italian lens so we will make a pair for fun. And another set already sold so I will be making a few more. Get your requests in soon!

I will take a pair

 

[Ohmess]

Hi Chris - put me down for a pair the next time you do a run.

 

[HB Chris]

Thanks Chris

Chris, very nice. Sent PM.

Is this one of those parts with more than one manufacturer? So if mine happen to not be Sidler, these won’t fit?

 

[HB Chris]

They are all same size but aftermarket and repops don’t say Sidler. I have one that says Sima.

 

[HB Chris]

Four pairs of orange lenses sold, taking orders for more as I only have two pair on hand as of today. After that we will make two pair of Italian lenses that will match the photos we have from Gianni. These take quite a bit of labor to make and we can only turn out one pair per day. Thank you everyone.

Just got mine. They look great! Thanks, Chris. Can't wait to see the Italian ones.

Great idea and nice look!

For genuine BMW parts they've been clear coating lenses in 80's and 90's. It is not visible, but once you will polish through the paint they (OE lenses on the car) become dull and matt quite easily and need more and more polishing. So the paint is also UV protector.

Probably not important for cars sitting most of time in the dark garage but it's just my 5 cents.

 

[HB Chris]

I’ve not seen any faded e9 lenses but ours are much stronger and made from polyurethane.

 

[Krzysztof]

Good! It should last may years than.
