Blacked out rear light clusters!

teaston · 01-19-2015, 04:33 PM

Just remembered, i saw a black M4 today, they look so impressive on the road! So of course i checked it out in my door mirror as it went past and noticed it had completely blacked out rear light clusters!

Whatever was the guy thinking, it looked sh1t!

I hope it wasn't anyone's on this forum, if it is you'll get a

Completely blacked out can't look good but slightly darken does look good depending on car colour. Also I wonder if they made sure the blacking out didn't reduce the light levels below the legal requirement.

@teaston was it reversing past you

how come you needed to check its rear lights in the side view mirror?

I know what you mean though, I've seem some darkened like on the DTM cars and looks ok on light colours but not great on the black M4 IMHO.

Your door mirrors point towards the back of the cars going in the opposite direction!

I agree with you completely. Men should not be allowed to do any modifications without getting an approval note from every female in their family.

I don't mind the odd tastefull mod, and although i wouldn't do it personally the full M Performance kit is acceptable.

But blacking out lights and putting stickers on should stay on Corsas & Saxo's that frequent supermarket car parks late on weekend evenings!

Yes, there are things one can do to the car. I've done some yo mine but everyone should go to an eye doctor before starting. And updating medications should be demanded too.

How the hell that ball with glasses ended up there I will never know.

I do like a small smoking to the rear lights but only on certain paint colour and sometimes only certain cars.
