Headlamp Protectors

[robert.jamieson]

Hi All,

Anybody know if these are still available for the MK2? What do they go for? Are they any good? Easy to fit?

Also, are the genuine 260 mats still available? What are they going for?

Cheers


Rob

Let me know if you get some and you think they're worth it - I might need some one day...

I've had them on my car pretty much since I got it. You can't really tell that they are on there but worth having I think

Im just waiting for mine to arrive, so cannot comment how easy they are to fit.

[pessling]

Very easy to fit on the Mk2 cars, i did fine that the screw that holds the protector to the bracket not very good and drilled and re tapped the hole for a better stainless bolt.

I bought mine years ago and never got around to fitting...:ash

[pessling]

They only take 5 minutes to fit, the bracket is just slide between the light and part of the bumper then place the cover on the light and tighten the screw up

Give you £20 for them ;)

Cheers guys, sounds like it's worth getting a set.

Much appreciated.

Any thoughts about the 260 mats? Want to know if it's worth getting a spare set if they are becoming hard to come buy, genuine ones that is.

Cheers

Rimmer Bros, have LHD ones for £10........

There are some listed on ebay, but these have round metal eyelets instead of oval plastic ones.........

likewise :thumb

[pessling]

aways thought the cheapness of the protectors or the expense of a new light unit

[gaz the gas]

any to fit MK1......

I've had various headlights smash on works cars so have always fitted protectors to my own :)

I think they are akin to snake oil. if something big enough to break the headlamp is heading its way, a bit of thin perspex isnt going to stop it.

may have been of use in the olden days when headlamp lenses were glass.

The headlight protectors are pretty thick about 3mm and would easily protect it against a stone and even something bigger that and its alot easier to get the dead bugs of of them as you can remove them.

Not flying trailers then? (Stu) :~

[pessling]

i think they would have survived that, may be scratched but not broken
