We didnt use a template to do my taillights. We had to use a sheet per light cos the lights are big, so we just stuck the film in the middle of the light and then applied it outwards. Then cut the edges off

Lucky that one sheet fits on one of your tail lights, would have done mine long ago if one sheet fit each tail lights on my 1er 'vert. dont fancy forking out 1k for tint film either..

ari.. U can go to your laminx dealer and ask them to order the bigger sheets.
They must then contact the local importer, and they will get it.. Unfortunately, u cant request direct from the importer.

Local importer is Autostyle that only sell in small sizes...

Thanks. Autostyle reckon they can get any other sizes when I asked them...

Was thinking of contacting Evo Tuning (the importers who supply AutoStyle - which happen to be right opposite AutoStyle), but got over it. Will ether just order some 1 series coupe specific pre-cut sheets from overseas.

Evo Tuning owns Autostyle!!! AFAIK, Evo tuning are the bulk suppliers, Autostyle is the retailer! - This is what i was told by a staff member at Autostyle!

That look so much better in person though... :drool:

Have you got closeups of the detailing around the edges, Grant?

This 1 is the edging:

These 3 we had to cut the lip to avoid overlap of the film:

This 1 in the bottom corner cos of the sharp bend:

installed the lamin-x actually had it done at pg autoglass rivonia yesterday i like how it came out gives a nice blackout look.
autostyle can now cut bigger pieces to any size u want still costs R250

hey carbon looks really great dude!! is the brake lights now dim? or pretty much the same?
also wanted to know if the lights are a little dirty inside, after the lamin-x, will one still look duller coz of the dirt? need to do my headlights on the e36... thanks :thumbsup:

 

[3V0M-WP]

They the same. Had them on now for about 8 months.

Theres been no problems with seeing dirt on the inside as the tint is very dark.

Yes, they are dull when they dirty on the outside.

I put clear film on the headlights. In fact, the whole front of the car is covered with clear protective film, except the kidney grill and the badge.

 

[sykotic]

my one headlight has dirt inside, and its completely sealed with epoxy so i cant open it up to clean it. so i was just wondering if i put the lamin-x, would it still look like a blue eye haha. but thanks so much dude!

o and i wanted to put the tint instead of the smoked, dont want it soo dark... will the lights still look one shade or will the one with the dirt show??

hate that fckn light!!!:cursin:
