The lacquer has started to flake off my headlights, is there anywhere recommended to refurbish them in the Edinburgh area?
Alternatively has anyone gone down the DIY route?

I thought you had an S1 per your avatar, hence the LED suggestion.

I think Craig of CMC has sorted this out for some Evora owners. Similar prob on those.
Give him a call to see.

Craig uses Protek for his headlight refurbs, unfortuneately out of my budget, so will be going down the DIY route over the winter.

Generally if I have anything plastic that is scratched or degraded I use TCut or rubbing compound to polish it up and have to date never had a bad outcome.
