WANTED: Ich mochte diesen Teil fur meinen VS Speedster **

Du kannst es nicht haben, mein Freund. 

Or at least I don't have any info on if they'd fit, and they are the best looking, too.

Fragen sie Herrn Greg?

Aber Ich will es!   Danke, ich werde Greg am Montag anrufen.

I ended up finding what I want, but the model Stone Guard is made and distributed out of England by Aircooled Accessories (ACC). Their 2 US distributors are currently sold out of the "356 Porsche style Triple Chromed Headlight Grills," but I'm hopeful a shipment is coming next week from across the pond. I like this model of Guard because it goes OVER the existing glass headlight cover and uses the existing mounting bolt. It's one    of those situations when you pray "Please, Lord, grant me patience....but I want it NOW!"

I have the ACC stainless steel stone guards on my 2002 VS. easy installation, look great IMHO and they have held up well for the last 5 years. 

Assuming they are making the same way and of the same metal as when mine were made, I think you will be pleased.

I'd don't speak much German, so Schnitzel is about all I've got.

Thanks for the info. Now, I'm really anxious to get these grills on my Speedy. Don't worry, if you only remember "Schnitzel und Bier"....well, you certainly won't starve when in Germany. 

@Napa Paul  Great news that you found them!  And yeah...waiting sucks.

Necessary German words and phrases for the 356 traveler:

Bitte,   Danke,   Ja,  Nein,   Schnitzel und Bier,    Bitte, voll Tanken!   Wo ist der Rathskeller?

Pics of the grills up close and mounted.

One more.....

Yep, they're just what want...they look great! Thanks for posting these pix. Now I'll just have to wait for the English postal service shipment to Arkansas (Resto Bus Parts), and then the unpacking and repacking of my Grills, before everything is turned over to the "weak link" in the process (the USPS) for shipment to CA (me). 

I have the grilles that require removal of the glass. I bought them before I was aware of the ones shown above.  At some point, I want to try vacuum forming a sheet of plastic to go behind them.

That was the reason I spent several hours on the computer and phone trying to find this particular grill. I didn't like the idea of driving without the glass protecting the light. The rep. at Stoddards told me it was originally meant for use on road-race cars. It seemed terribly counter-intuitive to me: Small stones can still get through the grill and break the lens.
