Oh nice, thanks for your quick response...
Well, first of all congrats for your car, I personnally think it was one of the nicest of the volksworld show...

Actually, I fell in love with your headlight eyebrows :lol:, I've tried different ones on mine but they're not even close to yours, they all make the bug's eyes look "tired"... So my question is : where can I find them? Or at least, which brand they are... :wink:

Thank you...

8) Very nice picture!^

Thanks very much for the kind words. The headlamp eyebrows came from the previous owner. They were NOS OG ones, bought at a UK vintage swapmeet (cheers Gav). Thats all the information I have unfortunately!
They do have a rolled edge to them with a plastic tube type trim inside the rolled edge, if this helps identify a potential purchase.
I hope you find a set. Ive not seen others like it before either.
Take it easy, and be sure to say hi, if you hit a UK show again. 8)

The flat 4 ones have a similar shape to the peak of E's OG one's, not sure if they sit so 'upright' on the lenses as his though.

Yes, but I wish they put more pictures on their website, I can't really tell

I could line mine up tommorow and give you an idea, the profile of the peak etc is definately very similar, if not the same.
