Yes, the lenses I posted would fit your Romeo.

Where do you find these please? Googling only finds aftermarket ones.

These OEM Lenses are super hard to find.
I looked for months to find a set.

What sort of money are we talking? Whilst would spend £100-200 perhaps because of their collectible status, couldn’t justify much more than that, don’t want to be paying silly money.

And when people are talking about using a donor lens, is it literally a case of cutting an existing larger one to fit?

Basicaly, yes but the curve of the lens is important to the fit....
Are you in the uk?

Assumed as much so obviously need a very particular lens then.

And yes, UK. Not much call for sunnies currently….

I’m assuming this bubbling is some form of delamination. Can this be polished off in anyway to at least maintain the look of the lenses with the x-metal etching? It’s on the inside after all, the external surface is pretty mint.

It a layer that can be peeled off with some strong tape and is a bit of a crude and hit and miss method of improving them but you have nothing to loose with these!!

Was what was thinking, had been watching a YouTube video of a guy peeling off the iridium coating, had assumed was a similar deal. Like you say, will give it a go, nowt to lose!

Or just sell them…
