haha glad you like it so much!
the tail light tint is just a dark tinting film dont know what % it is.
there isnt a splitter in that pic its the just the stock bumper. think the angle of the shot make it look a little more aggressive.

no they are too big. i had to have the back boxes cut off to get the length and they still didnt sit back as far wanted due to the spare wheel compartment.
they have gone black now too.

thanks fellas.i didnt know there was an event a silverstone! definatly check it out!
will you be attending nab?
gavro if your going to do the change let me know how it goes and if its a simple swap i might have to do it myself.
oh by the way (this may be a question for nab!) does anyone know how to remove the rear light clusters?
the ones on the boot are easy. but the main unit i wanted to check. i had a quick lil look and it looks like a couple of bolts so thought id check before i start yanking it about.

sorta got the jist of that the first time around mate.
obviously my tints as well as my sanity is causing you some concern so ill explain something.
the tint i have on both front and rear lights isn't a normal tinting film you get from ebay or car accessory shops. its a perforated vinyl usually used for vehicle livery on the windows of vans. in the UK this type of tint is totally legal because it causes no obstruction to the amount of light that the headlight emits and is also MOT passable. which is why in the above pic you can see how blue my xenons are and not a hazy dull yellow due to tinting film.

yea MOT stations dont really like the non plate look. even though it looks better!! i had no front plate on my S5 for ages before my merc and when it came to it just stuck it on with 1 strip of double sided tape. my MOT station is bang next door so didnt have to worry about it falling off on the way! saw you got the black series spoiler now nab. looks wicked. liking the red tint on tails as well subtle touch.
iv just been playing around with my girlfriends car. went for the white and black look again so its sort of a his and hers flex. just blacked out all the chrome tinted lights n stuff still gotta get windows tinted, do the wheels black and get the private reg on.

2012 E550 Coupe
I have de-chromed my coupe but was thinking about completing the exhaust tips, they look great on your car. What did you do to black out the exhaust tips?? Powdercoat??
