Subject:	Names for the plastic pieces around headlights
Date:	Thu, 2 Sep 1999 00:05:28 -0400


Someone recently asked what the plastic trim pieces on the hood 
(U.S.) around the headlights were called. I looked them up in my 
parts microfiche (btw in the parts microfiche, the hood is called a 
"bonnet", another link to British roadsters!)

Anyway, here are "official" names:

For the two pieces that are on both left & right sides:

Protector (L) Retractor, H/L
Protector (R) Retractor, H/L

respectively.

For the one extra piece on the left side:

Protector (L) Retractor, Front

So there you have it!


Miataly,
Dennis
