Look like the westfield unit, may be wrong though. I'm sure SVC or someone will have the same.
Sorry to hear you found the hedge, damp roads??

Cheers Mike will give em a try....not sure what happened the roads were dry and i was not going quickly and it just stepped out and went into the
hedge. While me and a friend were pulling it out cars were having trouble stopping as they were sliding and today there has been a a much more serious
accident in the same place!!!! so i spoke to the police and have reported it the highways dept as they will be doing a sample of the road surface
becuase of this accident.....hopefully my damage is not to serious and i drove the car home but there is defo something wrong on that corner maybe
diesel or similar been spilt..

The indicators look very much like the landrover indicators available from here..
Which should be ok as long as you have just cracked the orange bit?

It is a standard westfield holder with the landrover indicator in it.
Crop up cheap on eBay quite often but are stupidly expensive from WF.

You might be able to smooth talk them to get just one? They might play ball, being christmas and all

I'm not sure, as mine came with the lighting kit, but whenever I read that description I thought it was saying the £35 was for 1, and you needed
2 per car.....

Then again, if Westfield are anything like Caterham are reputed to be when it comes to spare parts you're in for fun and games. Caterham seem
obsessed to only sell parts to people who own their car 
When I bought the windscreen glass I was petrified they were going to ask for a chassis number (even had a little fable worked out about agreeing to
fit it to a neighbours car as a favour IE no idea what chassis no or reg no is).... Got the whole way through the sale, chip'n'pin sorted
when the bloke says "you know this won't pass MOT, is it for a Academy car?"... Ah crapola....
Luckily there was a big queue and after mumbling something about "yes I know.... kind of complicated.... heater..." he seemed satisfied!!!

Westfield Parts Department are amongst the best out there. Bought numerous bits for my Fury from them - with their full knowledge of the type of car
it was going on.
Even got a couple of Crimbo cards from them.
Not necessarily cheap, but sterling service.

Westfields are OK - they'll sell anything to anyone with sufficient money. Not too proud to take cash!

Couldn't disagree with that more!
Without going into too much detail, when it comes to parts I'd say its common to pay less than 1/2 for what they send you.
I've personally experianced this on a number of occasions.
Their prices are also very reasonable for WF made or consumable items. The 3rd party stuff naturally has extra margin applied.

I didn't say they were cheap! Just that they will sell almost anything to non-owners, with the possible exception of body panels. I've
bought odds and ends directly off them and have been happy with the deal.

Personaly I would take the opportunity to fit a pair of flexibly mounted bike type indicators (SVC etc. sell them in black and carbon finish). This
should give them a fighting chance in any further hedge introductions, and will be much cheaper to replace if they do get broken.

thanks everyone but got the westie one which arrived yesterday so will put on over xmas...it is expensive for what you get but at least all the holes
line up which saves time re drilling and patching up etc, but if i am unfortunate to find a hedge again thanks to a dodgy road surface i shall change
them........happy xmas and safe driving
