i am not really sure who makes them, but i do know there are some guys in Belgium who have them. i think if you contact either 'fastfred' or 'kobus' that they can help you out.

Don't believe the hype in the eBay auction.  They don't really fit over top of the glass.  They appear to be designed to fit in place of the glass.

I have a pair of new headlamp grilles for early bug / 356 - wire mesh style. chrome on brass - 3 fixings - one on the original and two additional fixings on the top of the headlamp rim. Let me know if you would like photos - I would sell for 80 GBP plus postage.

Mine are from CSP-shop.
It's true, they don't fit over top off the glass, but with "TEC7" it can fit.

thats our listing and I have installed them over the glass on cars myself, as others have also, it takes a little work, but doesn't anything thats worth doing?
