Right I'm a little stuck. My car was crash by a previous owner and wasn't repaired properly.

As you can see my cars missing a headlight bowl so I have bought a new pair.

Im now after a new set of screws to fix the headlight bowls to the wings and a set of headlight adjustor screws.

I hope I'v made that clear enough. I'v looked on mini spares but can't find anything. If anyone has a link to what I need then I would very grateful.

Cheers
Jon.
:D

EDIT: O yes and I'm also missing the rubber bit that goes round the bulb holder so if anyone knows where I can get one of those as well that would also be fab. Cheers.

Headlamp adjuster kit - minispares - part no. MS14k
The bowls are fixed to the body using self tapping screws and spire clips, I'm sure minispares sell these as well - if not, a good motor spares shop or somewhere like Screwfix might have them. Search 'spire clips' on minispares website if you're not sure what they look like.
The bulb holder seal I'm not sure about, you may get one from the scrappy.

Thanks so much. I don't know why I couldn't find them. I'll have a look for the other bits in Halfords and see what I can find.

The bowls fit to the wings with rivets, but most people use screws when replacing them, thats probably why minispares dont stock the screws as they are just normal self-tappers, used with spire clips (think thats what they are called)

Whose bowls have you bought, looks like the Minspares one's have adjusters fitted. The bit that seem to be missing in your piccy is part of the frame that holds the light unit.

O right I see well I have bought both those new light frame then. I know the ebay bit said light bowls so that got me a bit confused but I know their the right bits as they fit. I know need to know what screws I need to fix those silver light frames to the headlight bowls. If anyone can help me out with that then that would be fantastic.
