I have a 2005 Crossfire roadster in black. I am gradually tidying it and next I want to have a go at the headlamps which have become tarnished on the top third on the outside. I have seen some plastic polishing compounds that are supposed to polish these blemishes out but they look like hard work so I wondered if anyone knows a source for replacemements at a reasonable cost.

Yes its a one of the various naff bits of the car which let it down. You are going to have to do the hard work as no new headlamps available here - you mat find some on the French or German or American forums or suppliers web sites to try but we drive on the left so no good. Only other route is ADC Chrysler Breakers at Oswaldtwistle but be lucky to find a good set. Mention UK Crossfire Group to get 10%.

 

3M makes a headlight restoration product that works extremely well. If you have a drill motor, masking tape and an hour you can make your headlights new looking again. Less than $20US. New old stock headlamps in the states go for between $600-$1000 each when you can find them, used ones from the salvage yard are going to need refurbishing and are around $200 each. Some folks just use fine, finer,finest wet/dry sandpaper and polishing compound. This is basically the kit that 3M has prepackaged with the discs and holder for your drill motor. Good Luck Mate!

I had mine refinishing at a place in Milton Keynes cost me £75 for the pair and what a difference. Wasn't brave enough to have a go myself as I knew I couldn't find any other lights to replace them with if I Screwed it up

 

I had mine done by a local guy that does all my paint work only charged £35

 

Dave, did you ever sort our the boot and bonnet decals??
