On the contrary, I quite like the all-new BMW 3 Series, especially those menacing headlights that extends into the grille. Quote:

![]() I have experienced both. In fact, people at my workplace still pull my legs for having a car that is more expensive and belongs to a higher segment than my boss and super boss. Yes sumeet, at last I got what I always wanted. I have already planned to take a snap as you stated but am not just getting the right time and spot to do that. It will come soon. | ||||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hey arvi great pics but there's some bad news regarding sun films installed on cars.It seems there is a supreme court directive declaring all kinds of sun films illegal. Hate to be telling you this.There's a thread being discussed on the same under the Indian car scene section. |

Considering the state of road traffic in our country where nobody bothers to strictly enforce wearing of seat-belts in cars and helmets in two-wheelers and road-users giving scant respect to speed limits and lane discipline, it's really unfortunate that the authorities have to ban sun-films instead of doing something useful. | |

| ![]() Arvi, You have a Gorgeous with you . The shade of your car is mindblowing. However, my sincere and frank suggestion would be to avoid the kind of spoiler installed. It is spoiling the beauty. You have to find a spoiler which compliments the beauty and not spoil the Gorgeous. Hope you will. Safe Driving!! |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() The spoiler looks great and am sure its hard to make out if its after-market or OE. So where did you get the painting and installation done and how much did you have to shell out in all for getting the spoiler fixed ? Thanks. EDIT: One more question - do both stop lamps (the one in the spoiler and the one behind the rear windshield) glow when the brake pedal is pressed or is it only one of them ? The reason I ask is because the H.A.S.S told me that only one of the lamps can be made functional with the OE spoiler. Last edited by rr_zen : 3rd May 2012 at 11:47. |

Edit:I also plan to carry a shaving razor blade in the car just in the cops decide to act funny and say things like keep your license/registration with us , remove films and come back to us to redeem the documents.If such a thing happens i plan to yank of the film myself as i have already done for the rear (though i did not use a blade and it just peeled off easily).

Senior - BHPian | ![]() That seems to be a good idea. With a bit of worry, I am going to drive the car to work today. Let's see what luck has in store. Quote:
I knew that you removed the film off the rear windscreen but didn't realize you did it yourself. How did you manage to do that without affecting the demister? Any tips? | |

I also have seen how the sun film installers remove the old film before putting the new one.They start from the very bottom ie wind the window all the way up and peel off the bottom right side edge with a blade and gently peel off the rest.The side panes will have residue from the glue which will have to be cleaned off. I really hope none of us have to do this though.Keeping fingers crossed. Last edited by sumeethaldankar : 4th May 2012 at 09:15. | |

| ![]() Got caught today. No lux meters or on-the-spot removal. They just seized the DL, raised a challan and asked me to visit the PS a week later to pay the fine and release the DL. For what it's worth, I have CR70 on the front and RE35 all around, but none of that matters. There must be no add-on film. So please take care, arvi86 and others. Regards, spadix |

Fine amount is INR 1000. (Repeat offences will be fined INR 2000, apparently. This info is not from the cops but from the forums.) No specific information from the cops, except instructions on when and where to pay the fine and retrieve the DL. Regards, spadix | |

This is crazy, really. How can anyone fine CR70, we are actually saving energy using these films. | |

That's the beauty. While all of us who are affected seem to realize that this decision is crazy, the decision-makers have not. Last edited by arvi86 : 5th May 2012 at 06:38. | ||||
