Hi guys I've just received my lamin-x tints for my front lights, front fogs and tail lights, fronts are spot on however the rears are nothin like the shape of my lights, on there web site it says 2006 onwards mines a 56 so should b fine and they don't list anyothers any ideas what I can do??

Cheers in advance

chris
 
Lamin-x is an american company.. they only get sportback A3s.. the tails on sportbacks are completely different.. I got a sportback... :whistle2:
 
Oh man didn't relise they didn't have hatch backs :-( u wanna buy some light smoke rear tints? I've fit all the front n can't beleive how much better it looks so easy to fit as well, will order a universal sheet to do rears then :) can also do 3rd brake light then too
 
I ordered mine last Monday n come today, just fitted them n it now rainin n they seam fin, I used a head gun while fittin them so there are well stuck
 
All I did for mine was:

put car in garage
dry lights
clean lights with water
dry lights
lightly mist with water
slide covers in place
use heat gun to lightly warm them usin a tea towel to smooth them out and remove all bubbles, lightly warm to help evaporate water
trim tabs of edges of covers
job done :)

all aplocators n spray bottle n instructions are Inc In package :)
 
ordered a set of headlights n fogs for mine and it took 3 weeks to arrive! ah well got them now... just havent had time 2 fit them :(

do you have 2 have a heatgun to install them?

what about the plastic squeegy thing which came with it?
 
U dnt need a heat gun but dies make it alot easier and also speeds up the process for dryin, the plastic squeegi is the little while plastic thing u you use it to remove bubbles bit I prefer to use a cloth so it doesn't mark the vinal. I'll get a pic upof mine
 
ordered mine last Sunday, Still waiting. Mine must be on snail mail lol!
 
a cloth alone or with the plastic squeegy under it?

i watched the vid of it on the lamin x site which makes it look easy as hell but just dont wanna feck it up by starting then finding i needed a heatgun then end up with bin material haha

Do you reckon the tint alters the intensity of the headlights Chris ?
I am tempted to fit as well but would not want to affect the amount of light getting through. However in saying that I have a touch like an elephant, so my attempts at installing stuff like this inevitably ends up in disaster !

Apparently it only reduces it by like 5%
 
Ye the light level reduces by 5% but IMO makes no noticable differance,

Also after that email I received mine 3days later,

also received that email again last nite for my rear tints however with the bank hol weekend I'm expecting them late next week
 
2006 - onwards unused sportback lamin-x rear light tints for sale £40 posted and quick delivary tint level same as pics above pm me if intrested
