Window Tinting

<< < (2/3) > >>

One of the 1st things I always do to a car is get the windows done, as it makes a world of difference in my opinion.

pros: like above makes the car look so much better, imo.  supposedly keeps the car cooler in summer, I cant comment on that as bein from Scotland we dont get summer.  :signLOL: also added privacy if u have valuables lying aroung in the car.

Cons: unwanted attention from the police if u get the front windows done noticably.

As brett mentioned I have heard of ppl gettin white lines round the rear heated screen, I had them when I picked the car up and guy says they would gradually disappear, 48hours later, not a white mark to be seen. if in doubt ask.

I got the darkest tint on the back (due to the misses havin a habbit of leavin laptops etc lying. and the lightest on the front, and have never had any unwanted attention.


pic of the back window a day after they had been done, as u can see the white line has more or less vanished.

My ED 30 has the rear factory privacy glass & it does look good.Ref reversing,no more difficult for me''yes'' the reversing light is crap but the windows don't look as dark from the inside when you are looking out of the car as they do from the outside looking in(hope thats clear)? :grin:

big al:
I have the privacy blinds and think they are ace! There are a number of people in the Midlands who have had tinting done and it looks pretty good.
Not sure where people would recommend though.

I recently had my car tinted went for 40% tints which perfect, 3o% too dark, 5o% which to bright. 40% is what comes on 3o edition as a extra.  pm details of garage where took mine in wolves! :happy2:

I wanted rear tints but I have a 5dr and the dot matrix on the quarters is very wide and I can't stand the white ring you get.

I went to loads of tinting places and none of them could guarantee thay could solve this. I was thinking of getting the rear replacement screen and glass from a broken GT Sport and get it fitted  :rolleye:

I ended up with a more sensible option and have just got some palm blinds (cheers Gazb). Easily removable, look good and no white lines  :happy2:

Cheaper than tints too.
