I am looking at taking the Lenses off my 33, as behind them u have 2 semi sealed rectangular beams, its a great idea and the result will be neat and original. Some R32's have done it and they look tough, all u would need to do is remove the lenses but don't discard, clean up the area even spray some paint to freshen up the area, then put a clear protective film over the beams, and your laughing.
