Evening ppl.

A lot og Golf's came factory fitting with privacy glass (rear) mine didn't. Does at a nice touch to the car IMO.

Whats the best thing I can do for a nice tint on the glass....without looking like a 'Black out window...16 year old chav'

Pro's/Cons from people that have done this? or advice on the best type....?

v2brett:
hi mate i personally went for the privacy blinds as i dont like the white lines that show up around the matrix dots and heated window lines.

but if you can live with that small draw back id go for a window tint film but wouldnt go too dark  :happy2:

heres a link to the blinds review on here http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,6158.0.html       a few of my mates have bought them and are over the moon with them.

Norbreck21a:
On a slightly seperate but related point, you guys with either factory tints, aftermarket film, or as Brett has, privacy blinds, how do you go on with reversing.

My MK5 has just the standard glass, and with the reverse light being so pathetic on the MK5's, I sometimes find reversing in dark places a challange. How is that affected (if at all) in having tints ?

stealthwolf:
Get a reversing camera! :evilgrin:

Great in low-level environments.

Johnny_tro:
anywhere decent in Brum guys?

Do I just look for a 40% smoked tint or something?

Anyone know the sort of tint original glass has? 30%, 40% etc
