Black Headlight Rings- Picture request

[Fanzotti]

Looking for pics of preferably a black 89+ e30 with the headlight rings painted trim black. Would also like a shot of them unpainted. Putting car together after paint job and thinking about painting the rings.

ebay.de usually has them for sale with the black rings *if you want to see pics that is*

my $.02
I did it myself. It's a small detail, but I think that it is nice.
Not that you can exactly see them, but only in my last pic do I have the rings painted black.

I don't like them black, personally. I think it actually makes the headlights look a bit smaller. I repainted mine with metallic silver Rustoleum, they came out great.

Black makes it look like there is a huge gap between the headlight and the grill.

ya, mine came black, i think it looks good.

silver is the way to go. black does make it look like lights are smaller
