Standard window tints on cabrio - pre-facelift v. facelift

[Zayyan]

Hi all,

Are there differences in the window tint colour between pre-facelift and facelift convertibles?

IIRC the saloons have green-tinted glass post facelift and something else pre-facelift so I was wondering if it's the same with the cabs.

Cheers...

pre face lifts had a bronze tint

posts had a green tint i think its the same for all e30s?

The convertible facelift wasn't until around 1991 though.

I suppose I'm asking would the glass on convertibles have been changed to the green glass at the same time as the saloons (1988-ish) seeing as it got the smily headlights?

Or would I have to find a window from a cabrio with the facelift rear lights (1991 on)?

I know the tints are subtle and that having the wrong colour would be better than the plastic taped over where the window would be as it is at the moment, but it would be "nice" to have the right colour.
