What are peoples views on window tinting? I'm thinking of having it done, not limo black or anything drastic like that, just a nice smoked tint. I cant make my mind up. Any views or pics would be appreciated.

Thanks

I think it makes the car look good. Fronts a little less tinted so it does not look too chav or illegal, I think my windows are tinted slightly from the factory?

If done properly it looks good, find some local places and drop round and take a look at their work. They should be able to show you what levels of tint are legal and advise you accordingly.

Done by a professional - yes will look the proverbials.

Just remember the legalities regarding the fronts - if you take the p**s with the law on tints then expect more attention from plod.

Saw a B5 RS4 few months back with what im sure must have been close to 100% tint on fronts - could not see the driver at all ( in daylight). Wouldnt expect they had stayed on very long. Your just giving some bored copper an excuse to hassle you.

had mine done a bit ago and its one of the best things ive done. got 40% on the rear screen and 35% throughout.looks good and i dont get hasle off the police.ill get some pics up if you want?

Get it done!! best thing i did on my bmw, just waiting to save enough brass to get the S4 done next.

My Bmw, cant remember the %'s of tint, but it was legal!!

Some pics would be good if poss....Nice one!!

I can get the job done for around £140-£150 is this about right?

Wouldn't have it any other way. It is illegal to have any tint on fronts in Estonia unfortunately. Some light tinting might make the overall looks better.

That looks awesome Renarl.

OT but that exhaust and rear valence must be a one-off. Very Crossfire stylee

thats cheap. you should be paying that on a hatch.As long as its a god quality job thats very good price. the rear screen on the saloons is a pig tho apparently!

Yep, thats a good price...
