I know that I may be SOL here, but does anybody know it there is a place to buy replacement doors for the Alternators figures? Both my Prowl and Silverstreak have broken off side mirriors and it is just bugging me for some reason.
Any help is appriciated and thanks in advance.

BST forums here and TFW might be your best bet...maybe someone has one with a different broken part that they'd get rid of for cheap. In fact, I have a broken KO Prowl that you may be able to do some sort of repair job with the mirrors from that. The problem, though, is they're both flawed... The "mirrored" sides, the metallic paint wasn't well applied so it looks like ****...unless maybe you have any painting skills. But they look ok from the front and sides. You could almost just swap out the doors, but it was the Japanese version and the black door stripe doesn't quite line up in the front...and they have the Japanese writing on them. But you'd be welcome to 'em. Might want to check around for an official one first, though.

Painting isn't really a problem for me so I might just dig out my old model cars and find some mirros to try to graft onto the original products.
It is just one of those situations where you don't even really notice the broken parts unless you're looking for them.
Thanks for the tip though.

I've glued Binaltech Prowl's mirror on several times.
How about just painting them with battle damage?

Honestly, most alternators are pretty cheap on eBay right now, you can usually pick up a new Silverstreak for less than 20 bucks shipped. They sold for 20-22 in retail, so that's pretty good. Just get a new one.
