In desperate need of Ferrari 250 GTO headlights

I'm specifically looking for the chrome "metal" headlight surrounds from the Gunze Sangyo high tech kit.  The car is finished other than the clear lens. 

However, I'm open to trying any headlight lens that'll fit at this point. 

I'm not sure if this is something that could be cut out on a Cricket. 

I have lots of parts or kits to trade. 16816641165175850540731671014685.thumb.jpg.d86134f01fb31e050d5a26d01dd4bbc6.jpg

Hi, Tony.... what's the problem? You have one metal surround, but you need the other side? Or you're missing the clear lens? Or you need two and you're showing an example in your photo? If I wanted to make one, I'd put some tape over the clear lens, draw around the edge, and use that as a template to draw the surround shape and cut one from some aluminum air conditioner duct tape. If I had one but not the other side, I'd flip it over and use THAT to mark up the duct tape. Those metal surrounds were a pig to shape and get to stick on as i remember, so you'll be better off with something softer and stickier...

best,

Matt

Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear in my initial post. The part pictured is complete and ready to install. 

I broke the metal surround for the other side. 

I've tried recreating it with BMF (will never match the color though) and aluminum HVAC tape. I run into trouble with the little tabs protruding into the lens area.
