Done a search but found nowt[]  Want to get rid of the nasty orange wedges below the indicators.

How do they come out? or do they?!,  whats the best paint to use on them and should i key them first? dont want the paint to start flaking off.

And finally, what colour do you think? I fancy silver but black was also suggested.

They prise out quite easily , they click in place with the flex of the plastic material holding them in - bend the edges inward slightly to remove  them .

I used satin black (hammerite smooth I think )which I brushed on after degreasing .

 Finish is still OK after 6 months . It matches the grill and looks much better than before .

here it is , boggin at Glenshee

Colour coded looks good, i cut the slats out mine, colour coded and meshed em up, looks good and lets air through to vent brakes or induction.
