changing out front reflectors

has anyone changed out the orange from reflectors on the 2 GC? I'm thinking about getting a painted set to match the car, but not sure how to get them out. Looks like they might be glued in but not sure.

I suggest you leave them as is.

Nope you can do it right on the car, use an exacto knife and take your time.

that is a bummer. I wonder if since it's a staff standard bmw color they would make a set for you. or perhaps they will start making some in that color soon.
