red tail light tint
Thought I would share as I haven't seen any other 1ers do it yet. My powdercoating and wrap guy offered to tint my tails, I said sure and asked what he thinks would look best. He said red and showed me them on his e63 650i. Looked great, so I did it. Very satisfied, cleans up the rear and makes it look newer! Before and after:

Thanks! I am very happy with them. I can take a step further and tint this taillight now a shade darker to match the blacklines, but I will wait on that. For $30-40 (red tint over reverse and indicator + dark tint all over), definitely cheaper than a set of those blacklines!

My tint guy usually charges $25 I think but he did it for free with my wheels powdercoated. Figured why not, turned out alright!

Blacklines...
As for this thread topic... why not go with BMW's LCI Blackline lights. They are only available in Europe... they run about $350 for the pair of tail lights are are totally PnP units. You can order them from Schmeidermann.de or ECS Tuning and such.
PS: The silver 135i with "BA" plates is mine. .

I could do these for $25 a set. Could do smoke tint as well.
Would need to do some R&D to get the vector of the tails spot-on. PM me if interested. |
