Front light lens
Hi, anyone know where I can get the square front light lenses? I was told somebody somewhere makes them but no further information. Anyone know. I'm also looking for a door lock if anyone has one, since somebody tried to smash their way in.
Re: Front light lens
the DRL lens is what you seek.
You've have two options. The first assumes that the rear of the DRL lense hasn't been melted and your bub holder fits.
If so, Contact Joep Vrijling either via Facebook (He's on both the UK and Europe 480 groups) or Via email (drop me a PM, don't like sharing emails publically)
If you're light backing is melted, it's not the end of the world, as the French 480 club are remanufacturing complete units. More details here

Re: Front light lens
Hey Martin. Depending on how damaged your existing lock is, you should be able to just get the barrel from another 480 and drop in your old lock leaves if they aren’t wrecked, therefore making your original key fit the new lock.
It is very easy to change door locks on a 480 but be extra careful on removal to not drop any of the leaves out. The metal part that you see outside is just held in with a clip on the other side.

Just the actual locking cylinder part:

If you need a full mechanism there are some available I've seen online or Jifflemon has a scrap car coming up or there are a few in scrap yards/on eBay. It may matter which year the car is in that case, from what I see.
