RS headlights have a chrome cap over the indicator as it is in the bumper. Those headlights are off a standard model.

The right front had a tip which cracked the bumper and broke the right light. New bumper was fitted and the head lights where both replace as he couldn't get the RS one at the time anywhere. Had the car checked and everything checks out with the repair. No problem with any of the front end angles and repair was as the lad said.

I'll be looking for a set of originals myself though when I get a few quid up.

I actually asked on here about the light there last week as I noticed the weren't original.

I sprayed it with normal panel primer and satin black paint.
