Black bezels
Hi all
Just a thought... Can you replace the bezels in the twin chrome headlights, with ones from the black bezel type? Is the part available from the suppliers, to replace damaged ones (Rufe), or do they have to be removed from damaged light fittings(if it is possible)? Any info on this? Gary

Found this one, http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showth...ing+headlights.
Wondered about mine, but thought would grey look better to match the trim?

Barbecue paint it is and some serious amounts of masking tape! Think I will leave this until the better weather comes in, as I have plenty to do with my splitter paint and fit, refurbing mikeyskona's old Craters and building a car port! I wouldn't go with grey, pacman, the black will contrast against the 'mystery' heathery colour, where the grey would seem to look 'bland' - that is only my opinion, but it's the only one I have. :-) Gary

top tip for you, make sure they are good and dry before they go back in, or they will mist up when the paint starts to dry.
