Planning on returning my headlights over the Christmas break, opening them up and giving the plastics a good polish inside and out.

Whilst I'm doing this I'm considering painting the inside of the headlight in either green to match the main car body or in grey to match accent bits on my car.

What are people's thoughts, green , grey or no paint?

Ps... My front window surround and wing mirrors are now grey too, not green as shown in the pic

Get a shot a bit closer to the car in the same orientation and I'll 'shop or for you. If you'd like?

I would say painted to match the bodywork.

I'll see what I can sort out for you later. In fairness the colour wont change that much for the grey option.

I think the green could be too much, grey as your rims would look good.

It's a tricky one, I would go with no paint.

Same here !! and a cracking shop Stu.
I just don't think the grey would look different enough from the black to be worthwhile ?
Just my opinion mind   s:) :) s:)
