Re: window tints

It depends on why your having them tinted and the look your going for .... On Showcars and "pretty" cars i would say Limo Black would look great but if your doing it for "secuirty" keeping to sun out etc 20 30 % would be fine , as i say depends why your looking to tint them

Re: window tints

I want all the windows done however a light tint on the front windows and rear windowscreen. Did the rear two windows myself and they look rubbish!!! Its really a talent if you can do that yourself!

How much did this cost you to get done? And did you get it done at the local garage or at fiat themselves?

Re: window tints

I am also thinking about getting this done to mine.

Does it affect the cost of insuarance? Because I have been looking around and places that fit them say it helps to keep privacy which reduces theifs from breaking in. But then again it makes the car look more 'attractive' to theives. I have looked around and can't see anybody mention whether it affects insuarance

Thanks
