Noticed the black rim round my headlights is very corroded and the black paint/powder is all about off. Can these be replaced? If so any ideas where I can order them?

cheers.

This is the part....DA3010B HEADLAMP BOWL / MOUNTING KIT - BLACK | shop | www.lrseries.com | L. R. Series shop around for best price. Paddocks etc. I took mine out, rubbed them down then, touch of primer and mat black can of spray. Saved £25 and will last a few more years.... just check this type fits Td5?

Thanks JC, I think I might actually go for the DIY job and repaint them myself. how long do u leave the primer before u can paint it?

I use cans for a better finish.... I use a grey etch primer as you can use that on bare alluminium without it blistering. Depending on weather primer can dry in 20 mins ready to paint. Spray the bits in the shed and avoid windy days. You will find your local auto paint shop (not halfords) will be competative on price and very helpful if you tell them what you are doing.
