First, what you have above allows HTTP methods other than the three you 
list.  If you want to block all access from the above IP addresses, you 
should get rid of the Limit stanza and just put the Order, Allow, and 
Deny directives directly in the .htaccess file.

The ErrorDocument directive will allow you to control what the server 
returns to the client when access is denied:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#errordocument

You'll want to set up an ErrorDocument for the 403 status code.  If you 
include the ErrorDocument directive in your .htaccess file, it will only 
apply to resources at and below that level.
