  That blue tint (seems to be a pasted plastic anti-glare) is surely a nice addition to the new batch...

  Another thing that caught my eye is the addition of 'warning color' (which is yellow) on the driver's side mirror as well. This surely makes it look more 'fiece' in some sense...

  The blue tint is for the driver to see the camera tv without sunlight shinning at that dirrection?

  SMB67T, SMB68R and SMB69M on 172 today.

  Managed to get onboard SMB68R today and realised that Batch 2 OCs have CCTV being fixed. The interior looks much better and the rear seats has 4 aircon ducts which is superb!
