Default Wanted: S60 Headlamp Covers

Morning All,

I'm after a set of headlamp protectors for a trip to France later in a couple of months. They seem to be thin on the ground on eBay etc.

I don't mind whether they are the ready-masked ("Touring" I believe?) versions, or plain RHD ones, as I can put deflectors on them if I need to, I'm just trying to avoid sticking anything directly to my lenses.

I'm based in Loughborough, so Midlands area would be preferable if collecting. Contact via PM please.

Thanks!

Have you got headlamp wipers fitted? If so, I'm not sure if the protectors can be used as they would scratch.

I don't have headlamp wipers, so shouldn't be a problem for me.

I do have these clips on the lower edge of my headlamps, suggesting perhaps the car has had protectors fitted before? Do they look familiar?

Not sure. They look a bit like the wiper end-stops minus the plastic bits that are normally present.

Yes these are the lower clips used for protectors.

Parts for Volvo used to stock them but no more. Made by EGR in Australia of all places. I sourced my last set in 2013 from here:
http://www.autostylinguk.co.uk/produ...PRproduct.html

Good service; ordered on line, got an email saying there would be a delay, coming from Aus. Took about 3 weeks in all but I did get them in the end. They will fit both pre- and post-facelift headlight varieties (personal experience).

Thanks for the link, looks like the best bet at the minute. Will get them ordered this week if there might be a delay.
