When i did the Zafira ones they never peeled or cracked...

the trick is to put a couple of dust coats on first, i used grey primer, once i had that on i then slowly built up the coats of paint.

Mine had been done for 2 years when i sold it and the lamps still looked factory finished.

Before each coat i also stuck the item back in the oven for a few mins in order to heat it up, this ensured a better bond with the paint

perfect preparation and all that........ :y
As i said earlier I have a black Mv6 with xenon's so I'd be intrested fitting/painting the black look headlights to that

Yeah the ones on that auction are LHD.. seller says 'they are LHD but "should" be able to be adusted'.. hmm I think I'll make my own :) I was more intereted in seeing hat they look like to be honest :)

I've seperated lenses before in the past but they have always been glass lenses, im a bit paranoid about trying it on plastic ones.. think I'll buy a spare set and do those  ;D
They cannot be adjusted.
...and you cant get the glass plastic lenses separately.  I tried  :'(
