Painted headlights on R230 ?
I am considering painting the inside housing on my '07 headlights. I have searched but can't find pictures but surely someone must have done this already.
Does anyone have pictures of either partially painted, fully painted, toned please post. Greatly appreciated

I am selling the best lightest wheels money can buy, for the R230. The 20" Carlsson 1/10 Ultra Lights. With brand new PSS tires. I paid 12k for wheel and tire combo just a few months ago.
I decided to do a wide body kit on my SL, so now I need new wider wheels and different offsets. You can see the wheels on my thread "WIDE BODY SL600 V12". They are already painted gloss black for you.
The big thing with these forged wheels is that you reduce your un sprung weight while going to a 20" Rim and the result is fantastic, more agility and grip with no loss of comfort.
The tires are 305/25r20 rear and 255/30r20 front. Let me know if you are interested and shoot me an offer.

I painted the inside housings of my 07' SL65. I will see if i can dig up the pictures i took. It was pretty time consuming to say the least.

I have a painted set in my garage that I've been too lazy to install. I'll try to get some pictures for you. pm me your email address.

Don’t mean to dig up an old thread, but I am really considering doing this to my headlights. Anyone have any pics of ones they’ve done or seen? Or stories on the difficulty of this job? Thanks!
