MR2 SW20 Foglight Covers.
Please excuse me if this is wrong part of the forum, but wasnt to sure where it would belong.
Has anyone else come across the genuine MR2 foglight covers?
I never knew such a item existed until I saw it on a Members car (Monica) the other week....
The car in question was a 1994? AUDM GT - and I'm pretty sure it was a factory optional extra....
Tried looking up on ToyoDIY but that websites a bit hard to master on a mobile device - so its either not listed or I just am not able to find it.
Would really love to get my hands on some - (be it OEM or a generic). Another one of my foglights copped got a stone chip. (Happened on my earlier MR2 too)

Neither until I saw these! Never been intrigued about rare parts as most of the time they are quite useless.... this on the other hand was brilliant!

Yep, will post some pics for you all......might have to wait until weekend though.
I bought the fog light covers as a genuine accessory when I bought the car new from the Darwin dealership in 1994.
They are quite stone chipped and one of the clips has been repaired, but after 19 years of service they have done a fantastic job of protecting the fog lights.
Cheers, M

You're not alone there. On and off since you (Monica) had shown them to me I have been looking. Australia, USA and European Forums - come across nothing!

I have a set. One fell off and the plasic became brittle and broke a lug off. I got it plastic repaired and it's now OK but I don't want to put them on again in case they break again.
Years ago I did a part number search with Toyota Aust and in Japan and was told there were none left in stock. I looked at getting them made by the company that did my repair, but they wanted around $100 each because it is a compound curve both ways and they said a mold needed to be made.

I think the only way is to make them. I ran a search and found nothing.
Need to get originals, make a good mould, then can get the plastic cut and heated, then mold into shape.

Thanks for posting a picture Monica.
Yep I too ran a search - with nothing. Very unfortunate as they would be really useful to have.
Search will continue though...

See what you can find. Otherwise we may need to "borrow" a set to make some more.
