[Baz]

black or a dark grey on gold saxo looks the tits

[jaybiss]

everyone does it so id say no...

:)

[vipergfx]

7-0 in favour of yes, do it. smoking them looks good on all saxos, regardless of colour. black goes with any colour

i agree that is awesome :y:

that makes me want to go give my car a good clean....

[Steve]

will be DIY so what black paint should i use?

[saunders]

you will need a primer and black gloss paint, which u can get from halfrauds. You can lacuar but seens its in the light unit i wudn't bother.

Ill be putting my original headlights on ebay wen i get a chance, saves u having to wait for the paint to dry

[TU-Tuning]

Looks the tits mate did mine yesterday fgo for it. Just be careful when sticking the lens back on and dont get any glue on the insert cus it dont come off and you have to do it again :@

[sshaxx]

do it its a definite improvement :y:

[Curran]

its best to use matt black paint if you are doing a DIY job

also i am selling my smoked headlights, pm me if you are interested

[Richie2104VTR]

They look quality stevey, you should defo do it :y:

[S34MER]

deffo mate, you can't go far wrong if you keep the black-gold theme!

[spanair]

Voted: Yes Go For It.

Looks nicer, specially if you do other bits black e.g wheels, badges and smoke the indicators, fogs etc.

[ets2k9]

I'd do it if you intend to add some more smoked details otherwise I wouldn't bother.

[Steve]

after skorpion stated i should go ahead while the old girl is getting fixed!
decided am going to get my car back into tip top shape (not excellent but sort all my problems) now i think i have found where my leak is coming from!

then get a manifold in there, back box and centre section as my standard has now got a hole in!

let the modding commense and my bank empty :y:
