Errrrm unless one of the spares stocks them which I doubt it? Just wouldn't advise driving it until it's sorted because you know what the coppers are like! Sorry mate, wish I could help more!

you can always
Clean the headlight covers with soap and water using a sponge.
Dry the headlight covers using a clean, lint-free towel.
Apply a liberal amount of polish to the headlight covers.
Work the polish into the headlight covers using an orbital buffer. Start out on low speed and increase speed gradually until the paint has been removed.
Clean the headlight covers off using a lint-free towel.

if not try some paint thinner or brake fluid but you have to be extremely carefull.
