How nice is nice?

Didn't look real hard, but I found one white one. It came off my 73. I could be wrong, cause my old tired mind forgets sometimes. There was a thread in the garage a week or so ago that addressed restoring them to the original white. It seems to me that mine were never white, but actually cream colored. Any one know for sure?

Yes they were closer to a light cream color, not a brilliant white. . I looking for a set without scratches and gouges, good enough to go on a concour car wit a little rehab. . I know that may be asking a lot but I hoping someone has a set stashed away someplace. . I'm trying to find a set nice enough that I don't have to paint them to make them acceptable. .

I have at least one and maybe a pair of restored white ones. They were plastic media vibration tumbled. I have more dirty ones that need to get restored.

I'm also looking for original white headlight surrounds in good condition if you have any more.

Nope, they were white.
Restored 3 sets, sold two. The last are spares for me.
