imo best way of doing it (and the way i did it) was to use red tape, you can get it from halfords, bout 3 quid.
theres loads of info on it use the search function,
you can use paint but its a bit messy, the red tape is spot on

Thanks. In the end I found some red electrical tape in the back of the garage that did the trick (for the moment anyway). I'll check out halfrauds though for this stuff as I'm sure it'd be better in the long run

yeh i wouldn't recommened electrical tape, it's got kind of a matt effect finish where as the redline tape has like a gloss effect and look alot better
