Oem Headlight Cover

[Copyninja]

My left oem headlight cover broke and flew off during a 4th gear pull. so I am in need of a left/passenger side headlight cover, Does anyone have a spare or know of a good source to get a replacement passenger side headlight cover please and where to get the oem fixings from?

Thanks in advance

New OEM! Can't be beaten for fitment and they are similarly priced to aftermarket options.

I nearly bought a pair from Concept 7 - but think ill just get my oem ones resprayed.
Only issue I have is that i Sanded some flat spots onto them so not sure they can be sanded nice again.

If you're paying to spray it's probably worth getting new ones first, when they get to 15+ years old the mounting tabs get pretty brittle and that's when you lose them at speed!

that sounds horrid lol

I shall do cheers

I got new pair of concept 7 ones as UK based and those mounting point tabs look very strong.

How was the fit?

I Believe Essex Rotary do OEM ones

 

[initialDean]

concept 7 are half the price

Dont get concept7 ones if u like oem fitment

This one is concept 7, from the top looks good but fitment on one side is real bad, no matter how u manipulate the plastic trim it just doesnt look good.

Ignore the bad paint on it , that was me

Dude! Mine is exactly the same.....plus it took the paint off the bonnet when it opened right after a full respray :|

I bought an oem one from the dealer in the end

Yep, same, that outside edge just doesn't meet the headlight surround.
I guess you can look on the bright side that their consistency is great!

Haven't received them yet. No idea if they are awful than probably best to get oem ones. Ill get my local body shop to paint and fit them and will post pics once done.

I’ll add on to this

And this....Is why I said it's best to go OEM .

Exactly! Tbf it looks good when the lights are down and when the lights are up its dark out anyway so I learned to live with it. Looking back at it, just get the OEM cover and if you're worried about the tabs just layer a little fiberglass over them to reinforce.
