Dear Lee

The cost to tint your vehicle at our purpose-built studio's in Norwich will be from £150 (where possible we would like to view the vehicle to determine a definite price)

If you would like to book your vehicle in with us, or if you have any further queries please get back to us.

We would need your vehicle for the day.

Directions to our studio can be found on the website.

We only use 3-ply metalised films not dyed films as used by many others.

All of the high quality films used by 1-2tint.com are in accordance with accepted legal requirements.

We look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Regards

Steve

This is what they sent me last sunday. Im not sure whether its £150 ish for all 5 windows done or if you can have darker tint at the back..


A place in swaffham quoted me £140 for the back two and £380 for that plus the front.

Re: Window Tinting In Norfolk??

give it a go yourself!

Look on youtube there are some great videos telling you how to do it.

get the film and you could have it done for like £50 tops.

worth a try i reckon would save you £100 if you do it well.

Otherwise can't really think of anywhere else in Norfolk...got to be somewhere in Yarmouth!?

Re: Window Tinting In Norfolk??

Well I haven't really looked for places in Yarmouth! I did my back two windows brought the film from a local market for like £5 but it is defiently an art! I didn't take the windows out either! So did it whilst in the car on the hottest day of the year.. its a pain in the arse it truely is.. with the airbubbles and water still in there! I put stripes on my partners mini and that turned out fantastic just window tinting is an art.. I woudn't mind giving some one else £50 for doing it if it looked half decent...

Damn..

Re: Window Tinting In Norfolk??

I've got the 500 1.3 Multijet Sport and it comes from the factory with dark glass in the back so I have asked for a quote for just the two front windows.

I know that legally you are only allowed to have tints that allow 70% of the light through and wondered if anyone knew offhand how dark the standard fit tints on the Sport are so I can roughly gauge the difference in looks between the two sets.
