Smoked headlights would be cool but I'm still a no on the roof. From all but the angle of that photo it looks goofy. I've seen plenty of silver Octavias with black roofs over here and it never looks right.

I haz plans to sort them but have no money this month as sorting the bumper worked out more expensive than budgeted.

I'm undecided on the roof tbh as some cars look really good with the contrast. The mirrors aren't working for me though and I reckon a subtle headlight tint would be cool.

50/50 on the roof.  but after Dom's shop I really think you should tint your lights!
