iv'e just bought some interior trim very cheap.....
and the sunvisors are black with a cream/white backing some interior door lights black plastic trim not chrome like mine just wondering what year they changed to one colour (sunvisors) and from black to chrome (lights)

It rides again.....

Gaz,

The sunvisor are from a TR7 FHC so when in the up position it matches the Headlining. The early headlining had a larger pattern in it, before changing to lighter smoother pattern. The Black door lights were introduced in the early Canley cars so around the 1978/1979. The later Canley cars then change to chrome say around 1980.

Hope this helps.

I read somewhere that the one colour sun visor appeared for the first time on the convertible.

I bought a few years ago that interiorlights (remakes) in black plastic.

For the (door mounted) interiour lights you can use either Peugeot or Renault items as they are the same.
I looted a local scrap yard years ago [:D]

i should have realised that with the sunvisors..... its something you dont see very often these days on modern cars attention to detail eh!....

and as for the lights i forgot about the fact that they used them in french motors i remember a guy at a show he was in a gold convertible i think he was from liverpool somewhere (so must have been stolen) [:D][:D] (only joking please anyone from liverpool dont take offence ....now iv'e got them nicking fence panels.....) [:D][:D] about 5 years ago telling me they were the same as the ones in the renualt vans i think it was the renualt extras...

It rides again.....

My lights came out of a Peugeot 205 and a Peugeot 309, they are very slightly different to each other but both fit perfectly. They are boot lights in the Peugeots.
