One thing they don't tell you in the 'how to detango' guides, or at least I didn't see it, is that when you have the light in bits DON'T try to wipe fingerprints off the silver bits!
The silver paint comes off really easily and you are left with white bits!

Yeah, it suits some colours better than others. Looks good on the red above, I'm less keen on de tangoed lights on greys and silvers, like mine.
If I did do it I'd leave the tango corner panel in place just to give a bit of relief.Arthur.

Mines very dark blue. Ads a bit of colour to it I think. Only time will tell I guess!
