Well, I found somewhere to park this afternoon a little in the shade and snapped a few shots off with my camera. Here's what my green lens looks like, with and without flash... bloody superb

These lenses are an absolute bargain. Kudos Mach.
I got my local halfords to make me up an aerosol of bright orange paint mixed with clear lacquer (ratio 10% to 90%). I have used this mix before to tint rear lights and the results are rather good. I'm going to attempt modifying the bronze lens to be amber - if it works, I'll post the results
Edit: Amber experiment didn't work, need a deeper orange - luckily I tested on a piece of glass first

Might get a deeper colour, but at £10 a can, it's a bit of an expensive experiment...
