E90 Facelift Style Tail Lights

chrismac · 02-19-2011, 01:11 PM

I am into my first week of ownership of my 2007 E90 M Sport LeMans Blue.

So far I have installed carbon kidney grills and wing mirrors, along with de badging the rear. I will get some proper pics once the dreadful weather has passed and I can give it a clean.

I wasn't a fan of the white section on the pre facelift tail lights, and I am not too sure about the black lines for now so did the following today:

Better?

Lol WTF... I Fail...

Looks good.

G-10 · 02-19-2011, 02:13 PM

Hmmm not sure if i like them or not. You got any full rear shots?

ddogg35 · 02-19-2011, 02:58 PM

i like, i just got some film yesterday to do mine
how are the reversing lights now?

I think that looks pretty good, and not a bad idea as the facelift style lights are much nicer than the originals.

Do they look pink when you select reverse?

chrismac · 02-19-2011, 06:26 PM

I'll post full pics when I give it a clean and it stops raining!

Reverse is just the same as before I cut out sections for White light.

I like it !

Tunna_uk · 02-20-2011, 07:42 AM

What film did you use and where from? looks interesting

edowen · 02-20-2011, 10:31 AM

looks way better than the black-lines everyone bangs on about - personally I think black-lines look chav.

Small world, the place selling this tint is 2 mins from my house might have a visit as I do like the look of those lights

JaySTee · 02-21-2011, 04:23 AM

Looks good and certainly cheaper than blacklines - I like my blacklines though so I must be a chav

G-10 · 02-21-2011, 06:53 AM

That looks much better than standard & darklines. Good job

chrismac · 02-21-2011, 01:17 PM

I went to a conference today and it had a lot of positive comments RE: the rear end.

Desmondo · 02-21-2011, 02:59 PM

And what about the car?

ADV.1 Matt · 02-21-2011, 03:14 PM

Looks great!

E92westy · 03-12-2011, 02:26 AM

I've just ordered some film to give this a go.
Anyone know if you have to leave the section out to show a white reversing light, for MOT purposes etc, or can you just cover the whole light?
Cheers.
