Its easy enough to remove the chrome rims and spray them...just make sure you flat them back well and do a nice job and lots of clear coat to protect them after. You can either mask up the lamp and spray in situ on the unit, or even while still mounted in the bonnet. But better is to remove the unit and unclip the ring and spray them seperate.

I have done it on lots of other MINI chrome. I also took a set of lamps apart and did the insides myself once...not the best job but it was an experiment.
