You can buy tinting film from Lamin-x http://www.lamin-x.co.uk/shop.htm

They do a subtle tint or a much darker 'gunsmoke' (too dark IMO). I used subtle tint on my old E30 and it looked good...

ooooh there the mtec 1 side skirts, i dont like them at all i prefer these aftermarket ones plus the lines in the side skirts that i have match the front and rear tech 1 bumpers, i know i know its low for a cabby but when the different rims are on it will look lush!

I can't remember what size I bought, was a while ago now but I did both the inner and outer (dipped & main beam) lights on each side - can't see too well in the crappy photo's though. Take a rough measurement of the lights and order a couple of sheets that will cover them :wink:
