I managed to smash the driver's side headlight lens yesterday as I was replacing a rusty reflector.

All my own fault of course. Typically the MOT is due this week ie Tuesday so I need to get one fast.

Does anyone know what they are from and maybe the part number.

Any suggestions as to where I can get one from?Obviously a dealer, but I have doubts whether they'd have them in stock, or to get one by Tuesday.

Any help for the bloke with butter fingers would be much appreciated.

if you get onto your dealer first thing, they should be able to get one from blackpool by tuesday morning ( they could always ship it overnight, couldn't they? )

didn't ought to be a big deal.

Try Peninsula on 01884 35341 or 01395 232241 they will deliver next day, I needed one for my MOT as well after changing the reflector, it was delivered to me at work.
Aparently the lenses are of a Scamel Truck that was not imported into this country so give Halfords a miss!!!

Wahey. I've fixed it!!

WLA in Maidstone (about an hour from me) came up trumps this morning and I picked up a lens and new rubber seal at around 10am.
I had it MOT'd by 3pm!!! Just the Bird's Megane and the MGA to do now. Its funny how 3 come along at once....

My attempt at the silicone sealant wasn't bad either. I know I didn't give it lots of time to go off but I was I had to get somewhere this evening and it wasn't raining (for once).

Many thanks for the replies chaps. If anyone else has a problem with headlamp lenses let me know, my labour rates are very competitive
