looks the nuts! Espcially with that numberplate

Black and silver plates definitely look good.

Hxc · 29 Mar 2011 at 19:17

Why oh why can't we have black and silver plates!

Because it's not 1960, unlike on the Channel Islands

Yes i know, window tints are not legal blah blah (if anyone has any tips on how to remove them without causing an absolute mess please let me know, i tried last week but got scared of making a total mess and stopped

Cookeh · 29 Mar 2011 at 20:37

They are legal.

Up to 30%

Have you lowered the supsension? :eek:

Xez · 29 Mar 2011 at 20:38

Minus the lights I quite like that

Just drive around with the front two down, even in December...

Good suggestion but i don't like the wind in my face

I've read that Steam Cleaners/Guns are whats best, was hoping someone on here knew, i'm sure a guy with a Clio Sport removed some?!

Used to love your Mk3, it was a great car

Phil W · 29 Mar 2011 at 20:57

Almost PX'd it for a Silver 530i with Style 37's on this week :eek:

Please dont if you are going to follow a similar styling route

Iffy tints and headlights are hardly drastic

TBH i have been holding out for a set of Xenons that i can retrofit but they are all commanding too much of a premium :rolleyes:

I dont know if the law has changed for window tints or if i just had friendly cops, but i got pulled into a stop check in cornwall on the way into run to the sun. They said i had to remove the window tints or get a fine, so maybe just leave them on till the cops say otherwise?

I'd rather not, i don't actually like the look of them that much. The film looked great before he fitted it, but a black interior coupled with dark rear windows just makes them look limo black.

Trying to find a way to remove them other than potentially scratching the glass with a Stanley blade.

hammer?

Just use a heat gun, use a blade to pull up the corner then just pull, keeping good heat on the edge.
Worked for me, peeled off leaving hardly any adhesive behind, which will come off easily with a bit of thinners or petrol.

I think your car looks great Phil, as you know

I like tints if they're not too dark, just a light smoke. I forget my car has tints when I'm in the thing, they let plenty of light in.

That Corsa does look well for an out of the box car as said

I wonder what it'd look like with a colour coded grille or painted black
