Sorry it was a crap rhyme !!!! I have just brought a set of
Square headlights with grill for my t25. I would like
To blacken it up and paint up the silver rim on it,
Which has partly worn off, so it looks like new.
What do you recommend folks.... I have tried back to black
And it was crap. Some kind of paint is needed I think

Satin Black in a can for the grill bits but what you do with the chrome part don't know (I just got rid of my chrome strip)

I just rattle canned it satin black too. Looks better with no chrome imo. Just mask off your badge

Are you changing round to square?

If so here's what you need to do https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.p ... 5#p7428246" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

though I think the mounting tab bracket 255-853-647 (x2) is obsolete from VW UK but available from vw-classicparts.com in germany
