I have found three nice orig white early head light surrounds, question is is how white were they when new?
These are a bit on the cream side. Both inside and out are the same color. For sure not pure white, but an off white. Did they just age this way? I have seen people paint them, but I would like to keep them close to original as possible. |

Cramped area, so this is the best I could do 2. Since I am a former concours weenie, these have been polished a bunch 3. My Nikon dating is out of whack! Pic was taken on 3-4-13. Pat |

Pat Pat, Though I have no personal interest in concours stuff, I appreciate your attention to detail and love for that side of these cars. No shame buddy, once a concours weenie, always a concours weenie! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
