Very nice indeed. I was also thinking to tint the front doors? glasses and I am almost there now. However I will probably go with one grade lighter on front doors so it won?t look that all are heavy tinted like the rear. How works the film with the scratches, is it resistant or very delicate to clean?

My fronts are slightly lighter than the rears, cleaning is no problem, not at all delicate just careful not to scratch them.

This is how it is sold in Italy. The front license plate in Italy as well as in Switzerland is of this size.

You have to do something about it, maybe get a bigger front plate (Is it possible) Or are those plate government issues which mean standard size.

Or try to find something to cover up those holes.

Well, that is exactly the same problem I have.
M pack for E61 in Italy is delivered with the license support plate ALREADY INSTALLED and it is really boring that our licenses are smaller than that.
I am also figuring out what to do to avoid that issue.

The front plate is standard and goverment issue thus is not much to do about it. I will try to see if I can fit the US license plate holder.
