Default Aftermarket Headlight nozzle painting

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if it’s possible to paint the headlight washer nozzles aftermarket?

I did a stupid thing thing and left off the option for body colored nozzles from my PTS build (my previous build was simple black so didn’t need to do it and forgot to add it on after).

Just waiting for final confirm that I got the PTS slot (it’s still sitting in V100) but the Exclusive Rep has told us we can’t add it now...

FYI, i’m getting the car painted in Slate grey.

Thanks for any help!

Shouldn’t be too hard to pull them off to repaint.

I wrestled with painting mine as usually small plastic parts don't look the same as the big bumper after being painted but I also didn't want them to stand out too much. My SA said it was very cheap and easy to go one way or the other after delivery. So that confirms the above post.

Awesome thanks for taking the time to confirm it I sometimes feel silly talking about such details! Like many of us, it’s such an emotional experience/purchase that I just want it to be perfect!

Stupid **** I lost sleep over:

Washer covers
Auto fold mirrors
Carbon trim (I have a thing against non-functional carbon fiber)
White versus Carrara White Metallic
Red versus Black Calipers

I am sure none of these choices would have detracted from my enjoyment of the car.

And now, post-purchase but pre-delivery mental anguish: What fabric for the P1Design seat inserts, which wing risers, how much clear film to apply, vinyl hood stripe, should the vinyl go over or under the clear film...

NEVER ENDING!!!

Sorry to lead this off topic, but that's my conclusion as well.
