Headlamp covers

Postby franrca » Sat Mar 12, 2016 12:23 am

Does anyone know where I can source a pair of clear plastic headlamp covers that Jaguar supplied for the oval lights? I have a pair but they are cracked and I'd like to replace. I think these are pretty much like gold-dust, but wanted to see for sure.

This might be worth a try. I remember Paul Hands of Hyper Engineering in Oxfordshire (there should be an ad in the mag) selling these back in the '90s. You never, he may still have some left over.

Richard,
I don't know if you managed to get hold of any headlamp covers but if not, I have a set of Hyper covers in good condition and with 7 of the 8 original fixing clips remaining. Let me know if they're of interest.
