Help
Hi all,
I have a black Puma and I'm think of taking the headlights out and painting the black plastic surrounds white and maybe the rear lights too cos I'm looking to have a Black and White colour sceme (i.e white graphics/decals, alloys, sunstrip etc)
What do you think ?

I think the fronts have already been done in silver by a member 
Personally I would stay with standard.

Puma not a Citroen!I believe Preacher was making the point that you wouldn't change a Picasso painting as it's perfect the way it is, as are the Puma headlamps.
I hope so anyway or that was a really random comment.
There are only 10 types of people in the world - those who understand binary, and those that don't.

They look nice as standard, but don't work very well, however painting them is unlikely to alter that.

yeah, I think that looks good e3silversurfer
thanks for the advice guys,
I think I will go ahead and paint them in a few weeks anyway but I'll keep a bottle of paint remover by my side just in case it goes all Pete Tong.
I'll post some pics when its done to see what you think
