Headlight surround/ bezel cover

[Wolvesboy]

hH All,

My bloody nearside headlight surround has fallen off whilst driving home from work - mixture of town, motorway, dual carriageway etc so basically no chance of finding it.

Any suggestions of the best place to locate one please?

Thanks fellas - prices seem all over the place. A certain salvage yard in the NE actually quoted me 80 quid --- unreal! I don't think that I will be using them for any parts in the future and getting robbed blind. I have also been quoted 80 quid postage - this is turning out to be an expensive piece of fibreglass.

Another option for new unpainted £80ish including postage

How did it come off would be my question unless it’s wound both wing nuts off and broken the seal.
I assume it’s not been fixed on properly or the wing nut fixings have broken away from the fibreglass.
I’m surprised it didn’t rattle for months before it finally let go.
Getting a paint match might be the tricky bit.
I think I paid £50 for a second hand one about 12 years ago so the price today isn’t so bad imo.
