New headlight bezels

[MarkS4]

I want to replace the chrome bezels (??) round the headlights on my S4. They are pitted with rust. Advice on where I can get new ones from, how to fit them etc, would be most welcome.

Hi Mark

these are as used by Mini's and are available off ebay most days and mini spares specialists... expect to pay around £8 ea... you will need to make a fixing tab to fit to the new rims. do a search on the forums as the mod has been pretty well documented in the past.

worth the effort I think

No I already knew what rust looked like thanks

No that's a good pic of the wee tab you have to make up. Glad I kept my meccano all those years.

Recently replaced the rusty ones with bright shiney non rusty ones

Get those that are chrome over copper as they last much longer than chrome over steel versions. Worth the extra £.

Hi everyone

Thanks for all the feed-back.

"Get those that are chrome over copper as they last much longer than chrome over steel versions"

Sounds good advice - who sells this type?

Many of the mini specialists, especially Stafford vehicle components.
