Headlamp surrounds
Discussion
Afternoon chaps.
My TVR S2 allegedly uses Mini chrome headlamp surrounds with an "L" bracket riveted on to screw to the car.
As mine had rusted I bought a pair from MiniSpares (chrome over brass). However, the ones that came off the car have no lip on the back, and the replacements have a 4 or 5mm lip which makes them impossible to fit.
Just spent a couple of hours with a hacksaw trying to take off bits of the lip to get them to fit but it's just not happening.
Can somebody tell me what the "correct" style is, and where I can get one without a lip from?
ETA both headlamp rings:

Many thanks for that - I don't suppose you could do a link could you? The best I could find was this, which looks to have the rim on the back...
