What type of paint is best used when highlighting around the rear lights and the plastic panel between the rear lights. I want to make them stand out more and would like to know the best way of doing it.

Yeah mine is a Berlina but i guess i was thinking to colour code to my bumpers or sumthing. Does anyone who has painted their rear light area have any pictures?

hmmm, I bought a can of automotive paint... matte black (I didn't want it shiney) ... just cleaned up all the grey bits around it, newspapered it up and sprayed it directly on... gave it 4-5 coats (about 10mins drying time was enough on a hot+windy day)... looks a lot better I reakon The lights themselves have WHT nightshades on them, and the centerpieces I have is a VK one I *think* (bought it from someone else so i'm not sure :mrgreen: ) Shall take some pic's tomorrow Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
