2006 Cooper Front Lights chrome rings question

I am considering changing the look of the font of my 2006 MC. One of the options is to "d-chrome" the rings around the front lights.
What are my options?
Can I remove the rings (easy)?
Finally, any feedback on Aesthetic Creations molded black rings?
Pictures on Pure Silver R50?


Thanks.

You should find a lot of info/ideas on how to de-chrome your front from that thread. I've done the Aero grill, Plasti-Dip'd (black spray on plastic) my headlight rings, did a 'Joey Mod' (color the non reflective chrome in the headlights), and applied Lamin-X on the fogs and parking lights. If you want any info on any of that, shoot me a PM.
