looks good i reckon it would look better with the rest of the trim the same colour though
remember if you spray the trucks bodywork you have to declare it to the dvla, if you have it vinyl wrapped you don't because its not classed as a permanent change |

I'm not sure if I like it or not TBH but I think it's due to the chrome headlights but there is a way around that as the base S model came with black headlights or you could always get some Fly Eye film to cover the headlight which will make them look tinted & it's 100% legal to fit & use on headlights thinking of getting the silver option for all of my back lights

Then black the colour coded stuff |

There only plastic and can be sanded to accept paint. I was thinking of masking off the head lights and spraying in a similar fashion as r1cho's Black. Nowt to loose I've drilled them at the bottom to release water already. I could fit a tiny rubber bung to disguise that If it looks shit sorry forgot my tongue. Then there easily replaced Im of tomoz and have paint. |

Makes them look like they have been tinted but the light shines through the same well very slight drop in output but everyone I know who has done their headlights hasn't noticed any difference & if your running night breaker bulbs don't think you would notice any change

my plan is to paint the grill the same blue as my body and take the black plastic out and replace with galv mesh.
also going to move the led lights into the recesses on the bumper and use them as running lights as they are not bright enough for spots. |
