I had my car tinted... and didn't get the rear white lines.  If the "tinter" is skilled they can pretty much do a near perfect job.

You start off with very small white lines, i.e. the trapped fluid - but leaving the car in the sun soon sorts that out in a couple of days.

I had my car done 35% all round.  It's tinted subtly and not "in your face".  After all we don't want to be attracting the attention of the "babylon" or come across as drug dealers?   :embarrassed:

Hi Greenouse  :drinking:

I'll try and take some pics early next week after I've given my motor a quick rinse and dry. Oh, got a complete set of R32 rear lights to fit as well....  :jumpmove:

Factory on the Ed30, but I had the A4's done last year.

Until it was mentioned I had never noticed the white line, which you can see the A4 has.

Love 'em just the same & would have them on any car, keeps the little kiddies cool and comfy as well
