I am aware there are different shades. Grey, green and red. Am I right?

My question is what tint should I get for the white 16v I have taken on? My guess is grey - or possibly red.

I prefer the dark grey tints.

You can see the difference they make if you compare mine and Adrian E's in this topic:

Mine's a Phase two, and currently has Ph.1 style (pre facelift) rear lights that go with the tailblazer. But I want to return the car to fairly original condition, so I'll be removing the tailblazer and fitting the later tinted lights.

My question really is; would the out-of-the-factory tints have been grey? I imagine that's the case.

Even so, to be honest, like you I prefer the grey...

Green tints worked on the Triton Phase 2 that I had.

Red tints shouldn't be seen on any

The standard light patterns are very 80's in their styling IMO.

The dark tint is subtle

By the way: If you are taking it off, do you want to sell me the tailblazer

Just looked at the pictures of the car and it looks like the tailblazer is damaged on the top edge

The tail blazer is indeed damaged (there's a bit broken off) but in otherwise good condition. The good news is I found the broken portion in the boot and it's a simple - and what should be fairly invisible - repair.

Tim Leech has first dibs on it, but if he decides against it I will be offering it up on the forums I frequent....

Assuming it comes off in one piece!

Dont forget the uber rare blue tints phil

My pink BX has red tints, I think it rather suits the car!

So rare I haven't seen any! Must look great on a blue car - especially Olympic Blue.

bagsy the tailblazer!

I have a set of NEW rear valeo smoked lenses, dark tinted which I have no need for it someone needs them. Im happy to keep them as a spare set

Liz wanted the Tailblazer for the BX GTi, but I said NO.

Re: Lights... Swap for the Tailblazer, Tim? (I don't have a good pair of these tinted lights... actually the ones on my GTi aren't a particularly happy match either...)

Ok Phil

if you can get it off in one piece im sure we can arrange something.

No particular worries, Tim. It's just that if I do get another BX, they usually have mismatched or damaged rear lights in my experience! No rush. And if you want to sell them to a more needy cause then fine.

I will have a bash (not literally) at the Tailblazer later this week.
