I am fitting subs in and other ice bits but that will have to be done on a bit by bit basis lol.
I am going to take the covers off the headlights and paint the insides black then put the covers back on.
but before that I am spraying and fitting a bodykit to an astra convertable

I have been told it is but not sure as I have never done it but I am having a go next week as a few vectra owners have said to put them in the oven for a bit then the lenses should come off.
If you only paint the outer rim of the light and not the center of it then it is still legal
