Hi all. What's everyones thoughts. Stuck some duct tape on to see how it would look. Should I paint them?

Hi, it looks like you have duct tape on the headlights? If it’s the front grills i like the silver look

I painted my Orion silver to break up the expanse of black, but that is more noticeable. I think on a darker colour doesn't seem to make much difference, unless you silver the borders of the left right grilles.
I also painted my mesh grilles gloss black, they stay cleaner longer and show better contrast.

Nothing on the lights. It's the dividing piece between the lower left grill and the lower centre grill. Only did it on the left side. I've got a space grey aerosol to paint my new door mirror cover when it arrives so thought I might try painting these at the same time.

Right hand side looks better to these eyes.

Decided to go for it. Probably not to everyones taste but I like it.

Hi Derek I saw the car parked up at the garden centre on Sunday, looking good

Shame I missed you a Rick. Didn't see your car. Were you in the Z. Nice day but a bit cold for the other half so had the roof up

didn't take the Z scared of getting car park dings from the tea and scone brigade!

I think it looks good. The lines of the bumper look as though this is how it should have been from the beginning.

How ironic, this is exactly what I started today. So far I've removed the lower grill surrounds and the dividing trim between the centre & outer grills. Haven't got the paint yet so prepping for its arrival. Looks way better in my opinion.
