Tinting.....

Went to a windows tinting shop that also does rear lights tinting. And they don't have light dark tinting for my lights. And even if they have the light grey, our rear lighting assembly has too many kinks so result will be bad. Just reconfirming what WK told me......

And... I bump into my almost evil twin on Gloucester road today! SG 550i, also with whiteline rear-lights! He's got black breytons, though. Can't beat the F14s and I've still got M Sport he's stock

We were almost parallel and he pulled ahead for a little bit and I can see him checking mine out. And I gave him the....... Thumbs up

Evil twin? Cuz he got black wheels? Hehe.

Too bad about the wrap. Or just spray paint them? No harm, get new ones if anything goes wrong.

You got your rim fixed? Still have your one time free touch up remember?

I just noticed I got a tiny chip on my right rear door today, no dent but down to the metal. Don't know if it was some idiot caused it by opening the door parked next to me. Guess I need WK to touch up for me when I go in.

Yes. Got WK to fix the rims instead. More convenient for me. And I think WK does a better job balancing wheels than the A shop (for me at least)

Bet you feel a bit numbs about dents and scratches by now

How much does WK charged you on the rim touch up? A shop charged me 350. But their workmanship is excellent, I cant find any blemishes after they fixed it. Just like new.

Yeah, don't care much about scratches and dents anymore. It's inevitable especially caused by others. Just have them fixed.

Try other tining shops. If it looks bed, just take it off..

Btw, saw another SG 528 with whiteline in TST today afternoon. All whiteline I saw in HK so far, all SG!

What shop do you guys recommend?

And I guess all of us with SG has strange taste on the whitelines
