yeah ill prob go body colour, my motor is gunmetal grey so black might work but ill whip them on and decide. got a mate who works in a body shop so no issues on spraying. i take it the plastic covers just un-clip? or is it a case of masking off the lenses?

The plastic casings are held on with a screw in each corner unless the mounting tabs have snapped off.
