Wanted to put some film on the headlights for protection.
Decided on a very light tint and then did rear taillights but only the indicator and reverse light. Very subtle but I think it came out decent.

I had the headlights and taillights redone with proper Xpel light tinting :smilebounce:

My OCD didn’t approve of the cheaper stuff:thumbdo:

So much better now.

Had some 3M gloss black wrap lying around. So attempted to black out the blue in the badges everywhere and wrap the side fender grilles :smilebounce:

First attempt at wrapping but it came out decent. I will get it redone by a professional at some stage. Just wanted to see if I liked the look.

Slowly getting the murdered look :cartel:

So I’m busy with going darker on the window tinting. Really want that blackout look.

Next is carbon bits for the car. Boot spoiler, Morris caps, rear diffuser and front splitter :cartel:

Then go fast bits will go on :smilebounce:

What tint did you use on your headlights?
Looking to do the same.


It’s a product from Xpel. So a tint with headlight protection :cartel:
We have a guy that comes to the shop and does it.

Thanks, I've seen another one of Xpel's tinted PPF before but that had brownish tint to it.
I see yours is a bit blueish or is it grey?
Hard to tell with the contrast with your black car.
Do you remember the colour/shade?

It’s like a grey blue tint.
