Bimmian Smoke Out Kit
Anyone use the side marker smoke out kit from Bimmian. I got mine yesterday and am very disappointed. The films are very poorly cut and sized for this application. Its almost as if they are for some other car. And they fail to even entirely cover the reflector...so what's the point.
Wondering if anyone else has a view on these.
Thanks,
TJM

It's as though they made them smaller to fit on a single backer sheet!

Mine Fit
I bought my Laminx tinted covers from RSpeed MINI and they fit just fine. It seems to me every one of these venders are just buying the bulk Laminx product and doing their own cutting of the reflector size. Go with RSpeed if you want them to fit. After this is the cheapest way to blacken the reflectors out and remain legal! Good luck!

I bought the same exact ones from OutMotoring.com and you have to remember one important thing: They are labeled for each side and for front/back. I made the mistake of putting the right rear on the front left and was a bit ticked over it being incorrect. Then I realized the reflectors are not all exactly the same

Maybe Bimmian changed them.

Ok
So now I'm worried. I just ordered some from Outmotoring and am hoping I am not just "doing it right." But I swear, the Bimmian ones are real chop job, and the biggest thing is they seem to be well short in length from top to bottom. I just can't under any circumstance see these fitting.
I guess I'll give the new ones a shot and see what happens.

Hi Guys,
I was notified about this problem, and I have a genuine desire to make sure I have a high quality product. I would like to offer each of you a replacement at no cost for the ones that you have that dont fit.
Unfortunately i will be out of town for a week, so this timing is not great, but please accept my apologies. When i get home, i will re-measure the reflector sizes on the mini, and get you all new sets.
Can each of you with this problem please visit www.bimmian.com/contact
enter your email in the box, and send an email to customer service. we will ensure you get replacements asap.
Thanks
Ian

Problem Solved
Hey guys:
Sorry for the delay in getting the corrected film sent to you.
I have gone ahead and put a new order for the film in for each of you who have ordered in the past.
It will be sent automatically tomorrow, with no need for you to do anything.
I test fitted the new set today, and it looks good.
I am really sorry it took so long,
Thanks for your patience.
Ian
