Me too. Would you mind if I shared your thread?

Havn't felt like this since Christmas 1965 - but didn't have to pay for my own toys then!!



Staggered 172s do fit a touring!

No probs at all - nice wheels by the way Q. Are they the factory tints? Do you know the gradient? I'm having mine done on the 11th March - 25% Front & 40% Rear and Back

Will post some more piccies later when home

Aren't these wheels 19". Are you allowed to fit them on a Touring in UK?

I just had mine done and went with 40% down the sides and 15% on the rear, looks great, you don't get the van look.

I will post pics when the weather clears.

Where do you get the tints done? At the dealer or with an aftermarket company? I have clear glass all round on my saloon and would like to get some tints done.

How do they put the tint on the glass? Is it some stick on film or is it something they do to the glass, like the opticians do for prescription sunglasses?

What sort of money are we talking about?

Sorry for the questions and I know they're a bit but seeing as you've just had them done I thought I'd take the opportunity to quiz you.

Oh and by the way - nice cars guys!
