punto mk2 headlights

[mcjacko1987]

just wondering if its possible to spray all the chrome bits in the headlights black? i know the chrome rings can be sprayed without effecting light performance bit the big chrome dish bit on the inner side can that be sprayed black without effecting light output?
iv already de-tangoed and have abarth headlight covers on but still dont like the chrome bits.

main questions tho is it safe,illegal, or effect mot in any way?

just think as dark as they can go will suit my colour theme better

brin done it i believe

legalities i dont know
mot as long as they give out enough light in the correct pattern and aligned properly should be a problem

let me shread some light on this thread lol

i sprayed everything black but that lol....the main beam is a reflector lense not projection (like dipped) so will fail MOT for not correct beam pattern i believe...cops wont say owt...it will dim you main beam tho it will be more like a dot spot light instead of a wide beam of light...therfore makes it pretty useless mate...but if its just for thelooks and your not too bothered then do it mate haha

and if you do it all black mate...will look like nowt ther tbh i like mine with the shinny bit in each corner as the blue lense from me xenon bulbs reflects and shows blue when sunlight hits it and looks more agressive with 2 chrome shields in each corner (a bit like eyes staring you down hahaha)
