Headlights

I have never seen a Mini with painted headlights. I think it will look very nice if the plastic interior of the headlights (latest headlights, see pic) was painted a different colour.
Has anyone done this to their Mini?

I think black will look amaizing, chrome will be nice to.

I made an attempt in Microsoft Paint, as you can see, on the JCW GP.

I know I'm going to paint the headlights of my Mini black when I have one of my own. I'm very curious how it would look. It also surprises me there not for sale in several colours...?

I also think these headlights just ask for Halo rings or angel eyes . Around those plastic rings surrounding the lights.
I'm going to build in angel eyes when I have my own Mini, at least I'm going to try. I think there is enough space to do this. Now doubt it will look awesome, especially in the dark .

For those who don't know wahta angel eyes are, see pic.

Check out the styling and tuning section under car parts on ebay. I have seen HALO side lights advertised......

Just about to finish the second halogen light now, tempted to get some facelift xenons and paint them, but do I trust myself with £1000 worth of lights and a dremel!
