Double glazing and tints

Post by Paulm » Fri Sep 14, 2012 9:43 pm

How do you go about tinting the rear windows with double glazing. I read that they dont come tinted (not seen a pic of my car yet :evil: ), so will aftermarket inner tints look rubbish. Anyone on here have the same issue??

Had this done with mine. Downside is that the heating elements are highlighted once the tint is applied on the inside of the glass. Some may say that this looks naff but I still prefer the darker glass and can live with it.

Struggling to get pics of my car but I am guessing there is now window tint. Like you I like the tint look and can prob put up with seeing the heating element. i wanted double glazing to reduce road noise, one thing I cant stand.

I'm not sure how much it reduces the road noise as I haven't driven one without the dual pane glass. To me I like the added security of the glass plus it's a rare option :beerchug:

Nice :biggrin3: Funny that the three cars I know of that have had dual pane glass have also had the 7 spoke wheels, odd.

Yeah, really wanted the "proper" rs6 wheels but I suppose these look cool being Titanium.

Be prepared for just how quick they get covered in brake dust and loose the shine :roll: Look cool when clean though 8)
