Wayne at WR Composites has copied these for us so he now has the moulds to make them for other 480 owners.
The number plate holders are £80 each and the 2 part filter housings are £120. Not exactly cheap but a real godsend for Al's hayfever ! The filters are readily available on ebay. They look exactly the same as the originals, just a bit heavier as they are fibre glass.
Unfortunately we haven't got a diverter cup for the air intake - anyone on here got one we could borrow ? It has to be for a rhd car - we tried a lhd one thinking we could just turn it around but it didn't fit
Wayne can be contacted either via his website or on 07561406974.

Most excellent news!
Re: Front number plate holders and pollen filter housings
Great news
Perhaps a Christmas present for Pud...
Thanks for arranging this Sylvia. Afraid I don't have the diverter cup, I made my own for Lily. It doesn't need to be as elaborate as the original to do the job.

I have heard a yogurt pot makes an acceptable substitute.It doesn't need to be as elaborate as the original to do the job.
