Headlight mod

Going to do a facelift mod on me pre headlights but instead of going for black, spray the inside area the same as my body colour. Has anyone done this before? Will it just look crap? My thinking is that if it does look rubbish it wont take to long to take it down to black again.
Also thinking about an angel eye in each unit, any advice (if any) on this as well would be appreciated.

Samakand. Dark purple but not as dark as Aubergine. Quite rare apparently.

Lee,
I have got two broken facelift lenses somewhere but they have the proper black plastic inserts. Seeing as you have to take yours apart to change them, if you want them, let me know

Hello Baw-Flinger
Did you ever do the mod ?
Thinking about it myself - just wondered how you went on & if any unforseen problems
Thanks

Havent had the time yet I'm afraid. Wanted to get all my interior lights and LED's completed first which are nearly all done now so should be quite soon. Problem is, as soon as I start I need do get it done in a decent enough time as I am always needing to shoot off places. I will post as soon as it is done, along with some nice pics of my new shiney night time interior
