Hi all, recently bought a ‘16 plate 6C GTI. Absolutely loving the car but did have a recent unfortunate meeting with an in-flight pigeon which broke the headlight front passenger side by shattering the Perspex. Light module is fully functional and currently covered with some to keep watertight. I’m curious as to whether this is a full headlight replacement, or if maybe someone is aware of where I could source a replacement for just the Perspex on the front? Naturally keeping costs to a minimum is an ideal, but happy to look at recommendations for headlight modules as well if this is necessary.
Thanks!

Buy a second hand basic headlight ( preferably with broken tabs ( cheaper) ) and take what you need. You will need a heatgun or get someone to do it for you
