IMO it looked better with black grills.
I did all of the above little mods on a red mk1, and it made quite a difference. I de-oranged my ZS headlights, but it was quite a job, and you had to spray the orange silver, as its not an orange film like on fiesta. another top tip would be put the headlight unit in an oven for 5 mins on a low heat until golden brown! Only kidding just started to sound like i was on a cooking program! Leave in the oven on around 100c (reduce if using a fan assisted oven lol) for 5 minutes, and the lens will come away much easier than with a hot air gun.
