Headlamp Protectors

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

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

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.

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

Thanks!

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

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

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.

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