One of my headlight surrounds has either fallen off or been knocked off. Should a 1968/9 Cooper S have chrome or stainless? I have heard both are / were made. I have stainless bumpers but the headlight surrounds are chrome metal. Is the quality of new ones any good?

Not a problem Simon K, I appreciated you offering to help. Cheers mate. Yeah, I probably want good ones so new may be the best way to go.
