R53 Projector shrouds?

Hey guys,

So i recently did the Joey mod to my Mini. I really like the look I'm just thinking id like it a bit better if the projector shrouds were chrome again and everything else was black... itll help give it some more pop in there, and some contrast.

does anyone know where i can get a set of OEM shrouds? i looked in ebay with no luck...

Is there anything i can do to remove the paint and not hurt the chrome?


Thanks!

Headlights are only sold as full units...so either buy new/different ones, or work with what you have.
Realoem.com is a great site to look up parts numbers and to see if parts can be ordered seperately or as a unit only.

Thank you ZippyNH. I looked but they are one unit... anyone else find any or have any!?

really i guess if someone wants a joey'd modded headlight, im willing to straight trade for a non joe'd modded headlight!
