Looks lovely and fresh mate. How many miles upon collection?

stevie996 · 02-27-2009, 10:49 AM

It had about 30 miles on collection but it did have to go off site for the windows to be tinted.

Agreed, very nice.

Beautiful car mate

quattrogmbh · 02-27-2009, 11:01 AM

Looks beautiful. Seems quite nicely prepared for a "Direct from Dealer" car too :-)

I'm thinking of having my windows tinted, would you be kind enough to take some close-ups - Some of the threads on here have worried me, especially with the matrix dots round the edges of the glass.

Any idea what film was used?

Enjoy...

biscuits · 02-27-2009, 12:07 PM

Very very nice Steve...... I really like the LCI front end on the E90, so much nicer.

Who did the tints, like quattrogmbh, I'm worried about the matrix border problems with tints.

Carrera RSR · 02-27-2009, 12:27 PM

Spot on. Lovely in black

When you get some sun on those tints and they are warm, just keep running your finger over the dots. Takes a while to settle in, but the tint film will start to mould itself into the dots.

SoYank · 02-27-2009, 12:45 PM

Sweet looking car. Love those 193M wheels. Are they staggered?

CD · 02-27-2009, 12:56 PM

Firstly, thank you all for your kind comments.

I will answer your questions:

Tints- Done by Pentagon in Reading. I used Pentagon on my old car and the results are excellent. After about a week they virtually look like factory sun protection glass. On the rear window, around the dot matrix you get a very feint silver line which is even and looks fine.

Finish- That is not the finish on the car from the dealer! I was out until 11 last night HD cleansing the paint and then a coat of Collonite. It will get another coat over the weekend.

Steve

PS- what does LCI mean?

LCI means the facelift model, which you have
