I'm sure he will be flattered.

In maintainence and info there's a "how to joey mod headlights".

Dom's done that, plus used tinting film over the glass to achieve his look.

edit: beat me to it wherry!

It is, but i would still paint it on with a brush. Just get the lid and cover it with tinfoil then spray some paint into it, then use a brush :)

Here Bellend describes how to remove them.

Grille comes off with clips which you can use a flathead to unclip. Then 4 bolts to remove the headlights, 8mm i think?
