I've done a lil search with no luck: does anyone know of a vinyl wrap that will match the FL Silver? If not would a pro shop be able to match it? It needs to match 100% or not at all. I want some headlight eyelids to lessen the happy happy smiley face of the 2!

buy eyebrows , get them painted.

Other than that it depends how much you want to spend.
<£10 , get paint and just mask and spray headlight.

How do you find stuff like that on ebay?? I swear I regularly search for things related to MR2 in all sections, but that's never come up?

I could be wrong but I thought I read somewhere that painting the headlight directly can damage it?

Not really looking at spending that much which I why I was thinking vinyl.

Definitely!. It'll damage it under the paint.

I guess you could buy some clear sheet and paint that.

You won't get a 100% colour match of a paint colour with a vinyl material, you will need to get them painted.
There is no cross reference system for paint codes to vinyl colours.

Cheers for the help peeps. For now I think I'm going to go in a different direction. Going to crack open the FL headlights, spray the mirrored surfaces black, upgrade the bulbs, remove the orange indicator len's, then (controversially?) coat in spi vision vinyl.
