With many other car manufacturars tinting rear windows as standard these days, and liking the look i.e 207 GTI and the Clio 197 and actually the panda 100hp looks great. I'm thinking about getting mine done, but not really sure!



whats most peoples opinions?

Any pics would be helpful too, esp orange.

James

shame fronts cant be tinted well legally

Im a big fan, think it looks really nice. I dont like the limo style tints but i think a medium tint looks .

Heres a pic of mine that have been done. Its in red but you get the jist. If i get the chance ill photoshop it Orange, it will be rough though because ive got a banging head, lol.

Rich

Right then. I quickly did a photoshop for you. 2 things, try and ignore the front side window, i had to bodge that over because the other doors was open and looked stupid and also i couldnt get the orange right so there are 2, lol.

Rich

cheers for that Rich, does look good on yours.

Think I will get some quotes tomorrow.

i paid £160 for all 7 windows even the small ones i got the fronts tinted a little more to make the transition between back and front look more even.but there is many shades to go for.it enhances the car so much.think theres a photo of my car in the thread about colours of gps showing how good it looks it also keeps the interior cooler too.....

just a couple of pics where i tinted mine.

Rich being in the same area as me, where did you get your tints done?

I cheated mate, my dealer got a guy to come in and do them for me as part of a deal they had going on. There are a few places in Cov that get good reviews but they arent cheap. I remember when i was ringing round they were talking £200+ for the back window and the rear quarters, stupid.

Rich

I've got to get mine done..specially as my car is black, hopefully it will look beautiful . but its quite pricey....chappy wanted 150 for the back windows and rear screen.

you can get windows done for 25 each in essex, so back 3, is £75

sadly I live right over in Somerset, some serious mileage!

It would cost you more in petrol, lol.

£25 a window sounds too cheap but if it works then who is complaining. The only thing you can do is ring round and play them off each other.

Yeah not cheap. To be honest i dont think £150 is that bad. Obviously thats only the case if you have got the money in the first place, lol.

Student life, i remember it well.

Yeah I agree, but I've seen one example of their work i wasnt impressed with...few bubbles in it. but nobody else has complained.

Right, well i've booked my car in to have it done!

Costing £150 but is being done at a place with a very good reputation, they do a lot of main dealer work.

Think im going for medium tint:

should try diy... its easier than you think, the boot ones hard and impossible, but the the rear side ones should be ok to do....

cost me £4.99

i think someone on here with a gp did his rear sides him self to a excellent finish.
