I've got a 1971 164 and it needs a little body work (among other things) - most of which I can do myself but I'm curious about the headlight surrounds. When I bought the car they had been removed and were in a box in the trunk. They'd been painted the same color as the car probably about 15 years ago (not the original color). I've seen some 164s of this year with chrome headlight surrounds and others that were painted. What was the look from the factory that year? Should I just hunt ebay for a pair of chrome surrounds or strip the ones I have and get them chromed? I have no idea what something like that costs - if it would even be worth it.
