Default 964 headlight inside colour - black?

Quick one, I recently saw Gregs beautiful car at Silverstone with black painted (powder coated?) inside the headlights.

By inside I mean the silver "cowl" section that is normally matt silver which the reflector sits in. This gives a different appearance, of dark inside the headlights. So 2 questions - Is this legal (ie does it affect the beam) and second what do you think of the appearance?

I will be doing it to mine whenever I find a set of h4 headlamps that don't cost me an arm and a leg

Do you have a pic in order to see the 2 headlights?

I thought to the same thing but I gave up.

Thanks
