I am looking for a rear bumper, rear lights, sebring door mirror,preferably in good condition.

You can still buy new Vittaloni Sebring mirrors - get the convex glass if you can. They are also available on Ebay- but some of these will be copies.
They don't use the "swivel foot" used on the Fiats and Porsches, but use a standoff "spacer" I haven't seen anywhere else - though I haven't looked very hard. There are some dimensions for the foot somewhere on this forum as I asked previously as I may 3D print some if I decide to use the pair I got in future. I went with Vitaloni California style mirrors with convex glass as I believe these will provide better visibility.
SJSportscars.com have the rear lights but at over £300 each! They are about the same price at Lotus Supplies.
There is a pair of used bumpers on Ebay at the moment - the back looks better than the front https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144979871744?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=muBbz1nuQMu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=amfygrJ5Q3-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144979871744?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=muBbz1nuQMu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=amfygrJ5Q3-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)

Thanks silverbeast, over £600 for 2 rear lights is a bit more than I would like to pay. The bumper on ebay is collection only which is also far from me plus re chroming is not what it used to be yet still expensive. The only door mirrors I can find on ebay are not chrome.

Again, not cheap.

Or from Lotus Supplies - looks like without foot and probably not convex

Holden has a little better deal on rear lamps (https://www.holden.co.uk/p/lucas_l807_type_rear_lamp_lotus)

Both of those mirrors have a thicker rim on the chrome edge as opposed to my old one which is like this. I wonder if they were also thick rimmed originally.
-
The originals were metal I understand. The new ones are played plastic.
-
Yes, the originals were chrome plated pot metal or maybe even aluminum. I've seen one or two over the last dozen years on ebay or somewhere similar and they weren't cheap. If you're after originality, I think you'll have to satisfy yourself the current rendition of the Sebring mirrors. If not, I would recommend a "flag" style mirror, which on the passenger side at least, will give you a better view.
-
I can only confirm what Silverbeast said, get the convex. Flat glass is worthless.

If you only need rear lenses I think I have an NOS set of orange/Red.

Thanks for the offer. Ideally what I need are two complete orange/red light units but as a less favourable option is just one red/federal lense. Whilst your lens covers will fit my federal backs I believe they will not function correctly.
