How rare are they?

How much should I expect to pay for ones in good condition?

Are they chavtastic or a good upgrade?

:D

The only reason they're expensive is because they're rare - possibly because not many people bought them in the first place. They add nothing to the looks of the car IMO.

Very council , very rare and very sought after. Blind M3 owners are who have driven the price crazy. My last three sets have all made £250 fairly sharpish.

To be fair they are not the ones I thought they were, had the top white and bottom red ones in my mind. but surly if you want the tinted look a can of spray will do if done correctly.

Even my cracked set made £150. If you've got some, sell 'em before this window of opportunity closes...

Well I am a bit of a mug I think, ended buying them as I simply cannot decide wether I like them or not.

At least now that I own them I can put them on the car, if I don't like them then they will simply be removed again.
