Garage
There is a little wiggle room, so I decided to fixate the covers starting from the inside (hood gap). I tried to give it a perfect 4mm gap with minimal visible clear headlights shining through (had to check the most common and typical front/side view angles).
When I was happy with it, I taped the covers with positioning duck tape….going from the hood over the covers into the open spot again. cut them on both sides, so I had perfect alignments on the hood, covers and headlights.
Adjusted the covers from inside out, and from bottom side up. It is possible to minimize that gap...and I will cover it with matte black wrap anyway.

Photshoped photo, how it will look with a blackend gap (driver side gap was visible in the photo---although it has the same gap on the other side).
It is basically gone. Oh...and I photoshoped a DRL set up (new 935 style seems fitting to me)

Oh, LIKE! Cool idea, hope it works out as planned.
