Aftermarket rear indicator/light lens fit?

[hmg]

I had an unfortunate incident with a gate post today 🥲 and cracked my OSR driver side rear indicator lense. 1985 3.2 Carrera. 
Whilst I can see plenty of aftermarket options available does anyone have any experience of whether they are in anyway comparable to the real thing looks and fitment wise?

New Genuine OPC ones seem ridonculously expensive but maybe  someone on here has a good used spare they would be willing to let go if I cross your palm with silver ?

Keep an eye on eBay, there’s usually a couple on there

Scanning eBay  as I type.

 

Such a lottery trying to match a pair though  

Anyone tried the Roger Bray aftermarket ones?

I have a pair in the garage somewhere from my 88 car.

If they are in very good condition I would be interested…appreciate it if you could check and PM me if you prefer ?

I'll have a look in the garage and find them. I did a rear end refresh and replaced the rear light units with new ones from Porsche.

Just to update. 

I was 200 miles from home on a Cotswolds weekend away and stupidly reversed into a  low post in the hotel carpark. Thankfully just the OSR rear lense was smashed so following this post Chris got in touch and had an original pair in his garage that he was willing to let me have for a very fair price. 

Amazingly by coincidence he was only 15 mins from where we were staying so a quick detour to meet up and the deal was done. 

It just goes to show the value of the impact bumper community and the older Porsche forums in general. In a world of FB page scammers it was a pleasure to meet you Chris and the lense is fitted now so the car is restored to its former glory 😀
