[xj-s] Kitty Eats Headlight Surrounds - Bad Kitty!

A couple of weeks ago my XJ-S got angry and ran over part of itself,
namely the headlight surround on the driver’s side (US) and the metal
ring around the outside headlight. I believe the correct word is
“D’OH!”

Does anyone happen to have a spare I could buy? I don’t care if it’s
very pretty or not, just that it does the job. I can paint it later.
My poor car needs this, especially since I should be taking delivery
from the shop next Friday. I’ve been checking around and list prices
seem pretty expensive for new ones, and I haven’t found anything in
the UPE (yep, I looked).

Thanks!–

The metal ring around the 5-3/4" round headlight is generic, I think.
I believe you can visit a junkyard and pick one up for a pittance.

You’re screwed on the chromed plastic trim piece, though.

Have you checked with Coventry West?

Ted,

I have a metal ring for you. Wanna trade for that chrome Growler you
promised me months ago?
