Hi guys,

I was at the prosport RR day so met some of you there.

I run the lamin-x on my car, though i ordered the pre cut stuff from the states rather than the sheets from the uk.
I have the tint 5% and have had no issues with illumination, though that is with xenons, stadard lights may suffer more???

The tint looks great in direct sunlight, however, can look very dark in the shade - i'm still in two minds whether to keep it on my Sprint S3.

Red, Black, White and silver/grey cars work really well:

Not lost any illumination on my car - nothing noticeable anyway - but that's on xenons.
It's only a 5% tint

....Yep - With Danny Boy, Jimmy Pliers and the Biali Boys! :rolleyes:. Should be a laugh - See ya there :afro:

I was hoping to meet up with them at Brighton this Saturday too, but will be at Weston Performance with some R32 geezers (and topher).

Do you think will work on silver guys?

On the American website they do Tint and Smoked, Uk site only has smoked which looks darker.

Looking at your sig it will deffo work on your car, black rims and the black grill will complement it well.
I'd ask the UK what tint it is.... like I said all the S3 chaps have gone tint 5% and that is dark enough.... anymore and illumination may suffer.
