I am doing a small refurb on an S3 for a friend of mine.He has decided that the bonnet needs repainting(which is true)and so I have stripped it ready for the paint shop.

The two driving lamps are badly corroded and need to be replaced,any ideas where they might be found? and what they were originally fitted to!

Also the chrome strips above the rubber bumper need to be renewed,again any ideas?

Try Tower View - they got me a new chrome strip a few weeks back to repair the damage done by some numpty's parking.

When I picked up my S3 from Castle it needed annew driving lamp and they sourced it.... may not be the cheapest but could point you in the right direction.

Ford agents sell the chrome strip. You could also try these people, never used them myself though. www.rubbertrim.co.uk/body_mouldings.htm

I thought the lights were off a mini. I got some new chrome rings from www.minispares.com

The headlights are off a mini and you can replace the driving lamps with items from ring. aAround £20 IIRC.
