considering tints for front windows

....

marlie · 02-15-2009, 09:30 AM

Love it mate.. nice rims!!

spandeli · 02-15-2009, 09:32 AM

Gorgeous mate, thats my favourite colour, althougn mine is grey, this one is a real head turner ..

when i first saw the Audi A5 in white, i thought it was cool, and i thought it was better looking car than the E92.

Then i have changed my mind as soon as i saw an M sport E92.. this car specially in white is the best looking car in its category, no second thoughts...

nice alloys btw

PeteJ · 02-15-2009, 09:32 AM

wow, looks great mate. I wouldn't tint the front though, might be too much. Love those wheels though!!

willhollin · 02-15-2009, 09:47 AM

Looks great buddy! How you liking the straight six?

cheers, i love the 325i - love the rev of her... such a difference from the 320i. changed the runflats to ordinary tyres and this has improved the ride an awful lot - still having to watch out for those potholes tho.. afraid to get this rims marked!

Budgie · 02-15-2009, 10:42 AM

Looks fantastic...shame the weather been proper shit...roll on summer and itll look mega in the sunshine.

me away the weekend of uk7, but def hope to get across sometime this year!

can't wait to get the spoiler..

and seriously considering the tinting - yours looks great.

btw your photos are class - is it down to great camera or software (tho of course the subject is awesome

)

willhollin · 02-15-2009, 11:18 AM

Is that the M3 lip spoiler?

-=TSL=- · 02-15-2009, 11:20 AM

Looks great! The wheels suit the car very well.
Its amazing the M3 style spoiler makes a huge difference to the back of the car.. Should look complete with the roof spoiler on there!

Made me consider the boot spoiler now!

yip, spoiler makes a big difference - imo looks unfinished without it...

Budgie · 02-15-2009, 11:25 AM

The white respray has to be spot on though surely as any imperfections would stand out a mile...ive had mine on yonks now,makes a massive subtle change i agree.

Didnt fancy the roof spoiler although ive never seen one in the flesh so i guess that helps,make ya mind up.

cool.

thanks. im by no means good tho, think i just got lucky

think its more the framing and angle u shoot at really, camera doesnt make too much difference just clarity and sharpness i think...thats if u know how to use it (...i dont

)

i edited the RAW files in photoshop cs4. pics are distorted/exagerated due to the lense i was using, personally i like that. my point and shoot camera can take just as good images but its just easier to post-process RAW files. im sure an SLR camera in the right hands can do wonders tho. when i get some proper time on my hands im gonna buy one to practise with instead of borrowing one from work. hope that helps

Steve748 · 02-15-2009, 12:08 PM

Hi nice lookin car, but if you tint the windows it only makes the BiB wonder what your hiding, do you want to look like drug dealer?

Also bear in mind the following...
The legal position is that the front side windows on all cars must allow 75% of light through the windscreen.

It's a lot of money to spend on a 25% tint and check with your insurance first as it may cost you more in premium.

beemerbird · 02-15-2009, 12:26 PM

Nice - wheels look similar to Porsche turbo forged alloys.

Saw a white beemer on the M62 earlier, it really stood out tbh.

the white does stand out - tend to get a lot of double takes - i know this is sad but i always keep an eye on the rear mirror to see if someone does a double take!

i like having the 325i badge on her - most cars around here are 320s... (not that there's anything wrong with that)

or just have a look on ebay, there is plenty of replicas, at a reasonable prie, a third of the original one, just make sure there are made of Polyurethane and not the cheap fiber glass..

i got mine for 60 euros shipped to my door from the US.
