Eyelids (headlight spoilers)

[Lucas_R]

On a silver car my vote is with the silver eyelids. It will "blend in" more and look like part of the bodywork.

I actually did a similar thing about 10yrs ago on a silver Mitsubishi Mirage with some eyelids, and i firstly tried a smoked gey/black look which i thought looked ok, but then tried silver and they looked much much better.

Anyway, you said you bought both black and silver, so i guess you will be able to experiment and decide for yourself what you think looks better.

Eyelids are bit 2007 aren't they? Haven't we moved on??


How about these instead

Guys thanks for all for your suggestions!! I've tried the black for now and see how it goes.
We've tried the silver ones, but it didn't make any kind of difference since the headlights are silver/chrome already. But you'll see it all on the 2nd of Feb, and tomorrow I'll make sure to post some photos of what it looks like now

mate that's a very valid point

OK, this is the same as my old car. But not my actual old car.

Another, with my car behind it:



Yes, VOLVO convention

Not a fan, personally... But that probably has something to do with the huge reflectors in there.
With Projectors () its okay.

it's not as bad as i thought - i see what you mean Lex with silver probably not standing out enough from the chrome in the headlight.

agree with the more matt black - how bout plasti dip the side mirrors?

I think it looks great; possibly even angrier. Hopefully I'll see you around WR some more so I can get a closer look Speedfighter!
