I have decided to smoke the glass on the 3.0i as I did with my old 1.9
I do have black or plain silver side vents ,but I seem to like the chrome and smoke and hardtop together :?:
the lights are virtually the same with the flyeyeskit so no noticeable light loss 8-)

pics of car , I decided to give it a quick polish also 8-)

Black kidney grills and yellow lamix on the fogs would look soooo good 8-)

Yellow flogs is quite a euro look and I've yet to see it done on zed.. I think it would suit the z3 well.

Would try it on mine but I have no fogs.. :(

Yours looks great btw 8-)

I love how clean the rear looks unbadged, the smoked lights emphasise that brilliantly, looking good :)

Your car is looking fantastic

From the look of the flyeyes I think you must have a darker tint than I have on mine - yours looks better

Great look - I'm not sure about the yellow fogs though for me

looks great. First time I've seen it done on headlights. Couple of (probably daft) questions though.

1 is it a spray on job or some kind of tints?

2 is it legal? as in will the police pull you for it? wouldn't mind trying it myself if it's legal

Your ride looks really good...Did the yellow film affect the brightness of your fogs?

To be fair that's alot brighter than they would really look..

Gunna give it a try? The film is avalible on eBay for about £3.. Easily removed if you didn't like it

OK....It did look quite "luminous".....Glad you opted not to film in yellow....But I do like your kidneys...did you buy black or make black?
