if your talking about the front headlight plastic grill surrounds dont do it. Looks outta place on an E30, trust me on it, I had colour coded ones on my one previously I didnt do it, last owner did, I;ve changed it back to the original plastic black and sprayed a load of back to black spray, it looks better with the original.

unless it's a black car, oh dear god noooooooooooo 8O
colour coding the kidneys or painting them black is essential tho :wink:

used to be the first thing i'd do on acquiring a fresh ride, even before it's first wash :roll:
