As the pic is one colour,meaning everything is graphite grey it dont look that bad, but will it still look as good with gold alloys though.
It is upto you in the end, but your car as is , looks the dogs danglies.

Morettes are one of the few things you can do to the exterior of a Type R without ruining it IMO... and speaking from experience they light up a dark night far better than the standard headlamps.
Roof vent is practically irreversible once fitted. A definite no-no in my book.

I am having second thoughts about the roof vent as well, like you say once fitted it is there to stay.
I guess at the end of the day I'm struggling here to put my own stamp on the car as the previous owner did such a good job
visual improvement was always going to be a tough call.

Ignore this lot, crack on with the morettes. They look great on Simbs and Fatmans car (I know there blue) but they are a vast improvement on the standard looking ones.
Not a permanent thing Kev only a couple of bolts mate

If you like the Morrettes go for it Kev, its easy enough to change back if you change your mind and second hand Morrettes fetch good money so you shouldn't be stuck with them if you change your mind.

That is a good point above and it is no-one elses business what you do Kev... 
I personally don't think they look good with the grey and externally visually you car looks the better without them.
Why don't you spend that sort of money on a modification of more benefit to you like a Knocklink or a Wideband Lambda Gauge/Sensor to made sure the car is running perfect/safe...

I don't mind the morrettes, but feel like the side light looks a little odd next to them, i have see it where the sidelight was painted the same colur as the car and thought that looked good, i just tryed to do a photoshop of it but it didn't come out right.
