They're not blacked out, they are 66% tinted.

I'm actually trying to accumulate another set of glass and bootlid, as a few of my windows are badly scratched.

sorry that is my ignorance to the subject coming through, it just feels very 1997 when I see dark tinted glass ultimately though that is just my opinion

Finished spraying the wheels today, although I need to sand down one as i've put a finger print on it where I thought it was dry.
They haven't come out quite the satin effect I had hoped for, but I think after properly curing and giving them a buff they should look all good. They're not perfect but I wasn't expecting them to be TBH. Not bad for a £20 refurb, albeit I did spend two days sanding them down, so 3 days in total, and I think I am going to go for some Falken ZE912's on these, they seem to get a slightly better review than the T1R, and are the same price range.

Just need to find a decent shade of blue for the stripe. going to get a stick on one I think.

They look good mate. I think the black suits them well.

they are slowly going satin, I expect by morning they will be tack-free, and I can leave them in the sun for the day.

Very nice!

Can you not take out light scratches on glass? I have one on my screen and a few on my drivers door window.

I'm pretty sure you can polish / tcut scratches out of glass depending how deep they are, although i've never tried.

Light scratches yes. Chips, deep scratches... no.

If you can feel it with your nail, you won't get it out.

They look very

You still goin for a blue stripe? I think that would look awesome!

Post by **Marc_EE9** » Thu Mar 29, 2012 5:27 pm

Yeh I think so, just want to get a good shade, same as the stripe I have would be good, as thats got a slight hint of green in it.

Still don't know what to do about the centre caps though...

Leave the centre caps as they are, they look great.
