Title: Lamin-x size for headlights
Post by: Bradders on October 07, 2013, 04:08:35 pm: I'm looking to buy some lamin-x, could someone let me know what size the headlights are please.
I would order them myself but I'm offshore and it would be nice to have it waiting for me when I get home.

Cheers

Yeah Subtle tint is about as dark as you want to go.

Post by: MC71 on October 08, 2013, 06:49:56 am: ^^^^ Subtle tint.

Just had a butchers and It's out of stock at the moment on the Lamin x site. When its back in stock use discount code mkivs, every little helps. I find a applicator helps too (all over eBay, also called vinyl squeegee applicator).

:happy2:
