Re: tinted windows

actually looks really good mate....

personally i wouldnt do the front ones with that tint, get some lighter stuff! and a quick question.

did u roll down the window so that the tint goes all the way upto the top? or did you just do it with the window fully closed?

Re: tinted windows

it was difficult i can tell you that, i did it with the window down, the rear windows, when they go down reveal each side of the window edge so i had to tint it as i wound the window up, it was a right pain in the arse

yea, but at least u did it properly so that there isnt the stupid little gap at the top of the windows which isnt tinted....

sooooooo noticable with the windows down, some mug with a green 306 has done just that, makes me giggle every time i see it... well the gold 205 gti wheel could also add to that as well

Re: tinted windows

You can do mine too if you like - think you have a good idea for a business here lol!

Anthony

P.s. - What tints do you guys reckon for a black car, i was thinking limo black on rear (which i believe allow 5% of the light in), and light tint on the front (which i think have to let 75% of light in)? Are these light levels still legal?
