Hi all, after some info and advice. I have a winter model series 2 with the 50p headlight, anyway trying to source a new headlight chrome ring, I've tried sx, special and even 1 off of another winter model but nothing fits, so did they make more than 1 size of these ?? If so any ideas where I can get 1 please.

Thanks. Trevor.

They are much sought after I know people who have dressed SX ones to fit , have you tried Antony at Buzzsolomoto ? out of interest what's up with yours ?

Hi Toddy, I called buzz shop and its closed unfortunately due to the virus, the one that came with mine is a bad fitting sx one, so not a good fit at all..

I did toy with the idea of finding someone to braze a piece in it, but I'm saving that for a last resort..

I spoke to Antony the other day about seat frames he said he was opening up soon maybe try messaging him ?
Don’t know if you do faceache or not but there’s a winter model group on there which they sometimes come up on or people have info

Original Winter headlight rims are nigh on impossible to get hold of. You may get some success contacting some of the Spanish parts dealers.

Buzz sells one made by BOSETTA - which are supposedly the closest fit

You may still have to fettle a bit - but others have reported good results using them.

As others have said - Anthony is the person to speak to to put you in the right direction.
