RJM

Whilst I agree the tints are a bit too dark, I don't think I'll be removing them unless I'm forced to (police or wof issues). It adds to the aggressive look and the lights are basically normal brightness so not such a safety issue. Thanks for the feedback, hopefully I'll get around to plasti dipping soon!

Thanks for the replies guys, I think I'll give plasti dipping a go in the near future! Glad to be a part of the Bimmersport community.

Hey guys, I've recently purchased a 2001 530i M Sport and I'm excited to experience BMW ownership for the first time. I'm only 18 but I have an absolute passion for cars and the e39 has always appealed to me! The car is black with 17" M rims, M body kit, M steering wheel, dual tip muffler, black kidney grilles and tints on the front & rear lights (the photo was taken with the sun shining on the car so the rear lights are darker in real life). I plan on eventually plasti dipping the rims as they're slightly damaged in places and was wondering if anyone has experience with plasti dipping? Is it as easy and effective as advertised? I'll either go with silver to retain the stock look, or grey/black. Cheers! (I'm in East Auckland btw)
