General tints or sun shades

[coyle]

hey all, been thinking bout tinting my windows. at a cost of around £200, however i've heard of the sunshades that are available, and apparently they are very good. is this the case. does anyone have them, and have pics? cheers in advance

Couple of threads on the Forum with pictures on this (use Search).

...and yes; they do look good

ive seen a couple of pics, but are they worth the money, or is it better spending the other 150ish for tints all round?

I have the blinds, they can be taken out at anytime should you need to, and then put back in again. A prospective buyer might be put of with tints, at least they have the choice with the blinds. You can find them on e-bay for £30 so yes they are well worth it. If you are going to any of the meets you will see a few.

Also - how much will your insurance go up by if you have tints ?

i have full tints on my stilo it looks mint will post pics later

I've decided, im gonna get some of those blinds. much cheaper than tints, can remove them when you want, and they dont look half bad

Good choice

My side blinds will be going in later today. I tend to keep the rears in all the summer but only use the side blinds on longer trips when needed.

Go for tints all the way IMO there much better than the shades this is wha mine look like.

I've got no decent clear pics im affraid. but they are fantastic.
the place that sells them on ebay is only half an hour from me. so i went and picked them up, £40
Worth every penny!

I've got the sunblinds in my 3door, and they are great! No insurance penalty, do their job of keeing prying eye's out of the back and stop my neice being dazzled when she's in the car.

Plus as they are pretty dark you can remove them if you think its too dark in Winter, which you can't do with tints. Plus if you hunt about wisely you'll get the window blinds very cheaply, i'm sure i got mine for about 50% of the retail cost, but that was about 2 years ago.
