   mine have and it just ruins the whole look and dnt know if you can get rid of it

   It's your car isn't it!?!
   
   Everybody gets the bubbles around the edge. Sometimes they do come out, sometimes they don't.

   the white bits should be rubbed round with your finger every few days thats what i got told when i first got mine done and didnt have any white marks
   
   very old pic of mine, there now out as it looks a lot better without them

    well i got a sheet of paper with a warranty on it, gave the name of the company etc, i just carried that with me and if they said owt i just told them the company that did them said they were legal well that was until they brung the legal percentage out, think these let about 30% of light through and the legal now is about 70 i think
