Default Opinions please.

Hi all,
Recently picked up a w reg ra with an api engine build and some other bits. As its such a good base, I was wondering what opinions people had on the body work.
I am restoring it to pristine condition and is booked in to a body shop next week to get car park dents smoothed, scratches removed and a general refresh including respray.
My query is, should I leave all the original orange lights as they are, or up date it with clear? I just wondered if it was best to keep it as JDM and original as possible..
