Default XR headlight protector

Drove to Darwin last month (Saw Loundsy win) and one of my headlight protectors did what they are supposed to do and took a stone to save the headlight. Now I need a new set. I called the local Ford dealer and was quoted $126. Is this the only place I can get a new set ? Supercheap and Autobahn dont have them.

oops, sorry Bill, gave you a bum steer.

Looks like Aunger make visors, louvres and weathershields for AU XR's but not headlight protectors.

Aunger only do aftermarket stuff, the only headlight protectors available for AU XR's are the genuine ones.

Bayford Parts (spares bit of a Ford Dealer in Melbourne) sell them for around $30 via Ebay. Im sure if you called them up they would do you the same price over the phone and post them out if youd prefer not to use Ebay, i have bought a lot of things from Bayford and they are always very good to deal with.

Default Thanks

Got a set from Bayford yesterday for $55. Thanks for the help. $55 is just so much better than $126.
