Default help

hi all, just wondering if anyone knows of somewhere that sells jag parts at reasonable prices.Mainly I need to find some headlight parts for my xk8 it is non hid and the reflector at the rear of headlight has lost all chrome and failed mot but a new light is being quoted at over £600 and even breakers are saying £200 plus. 1 i cant afford that and 2 i dont need the full headlight just the reflector and hope that somewhere someone has realised what a rip off this is and selling just lighting parts instead of whole units. thanks in advance ian

You could dismantle the headlamp, strip the remaining chrome on the reflector and have it chrome dipped or sprayed.

Chrome Spray

Default thank you

thank you but i have tried this and whilst it did get the pattern back to allow passing mot the reflection is of such poor quality that the light given out is rubbish so although i now have some time to rectify i still need another solution
