WOW those blinds look great. Was just about to have my 5 door tinted but now not so sure.

As far as window tint companies go, We had our discovery done by Simon at super tints in Hereford. Works from a unit but will fit mobile if needed. He is on the same estate as us and I must say he takes a great deal of care to do a top quality job. I think there is a bit of ocd there but that's no bad thing when it comes to working on other peoples cars.

Depending on the quality of tint and the grade of tint you get, aftermarket tints don't cheapen the look of your car. As long as it looks OEM+

at the end of the day each to there own, tints have benefits and if done properly can compliment your car hands down!

I think you got the wrong end of the stick mate…. :ashamed:

Im sure he was on about the price being the same (as cheap) as tints.  :happy2:

it was the classier comment really tbh. felt there was no need for that. only posted as I wanted some advice, albeit some tinted windows look naff but it depends on where you get them done

The white line is called the matrix. once the tint has been on for a 2-3 days rub your thumb around the edges and it will varmoosh to a reasonable level, have all my windows tinted a light smoke and they look ace.



was just reading your build thread funnily enough. do you have any close up of the rear windows. I wasnt planning on doing the front 2 windows. do you think the light smoke and blue would look offkey?

Just seen this mate,


no close up bud, i think you would be o.k for the rears only with the front left as is  :happy2:
