They are the standard surrounds that are fitted to the 126 which you have on the car already, the one that fill the space are the ones in the picture that Amateb8 posted.

It is the rubber part behind the headlight. If you carefully pull the headlights out, you should see the rubber surrounds. The headight protectors I posted is supposed to be installed externally i.e. over the headlight.

They come in different shapes and sizes. I just recently bought another one from the Italian ebay. It is made of hard plastic and sits just outside the light sockets, so the front looks like Harry Palmer (The Ipcress File). There are others out there countoured to fit around the headlights. Unfortunately, as always not of them fit perfectly and may need some adjustments/alterations. I now have three pairs of these. I saw Pete126's version which he got from 126SKfan (I have got this one also) and he has done a very good job of fitting his, so I will have another go at mine.

The headlight protectors appear to come as standard on the post 1993 126ELX models. They appear to be a better fit.
