not done mine yet mate,
tbh im just waiting on the warmer weather ,
dont know if you noticed or not but one of my headlamps is fogged up ones bright ones dull,
once the warm weathers here iwill split the lamps and use Autosol on the chrome bits and take them down to a mat black base no paint needed for them
takes about 15mins per lamp to do

if you look at the headlamps on the d9s closely you will see the 1st part of the chrome is seprate from the back part of the chrome it is the 1st part that iwill rub the chrome off,
Aye, will be nabbing my girlfriends eyeliner
Would love to do that AND make the badge darker like some members on here have. Would give a silver Pug a badass look, no?
