[mcjacko1987]

£100 for just the back section (back window and rear doors)
£160 for full car (back window,rear doors and front doors)

Halfords - £30 for the film, DIY it.

i would do but i wouldnt trust myself doing it like that.best getting a proper job done.i have no experiance in doing anything like tints. i no its the cheeper method but i dont want it to look daft and spoil my working progress on my car. but yer thanks for heads up mate

 

[ozzy39]

It shouldnt be to hard IMO, i am doing mine that way eventually, and if it does come out bad you can just peal it off.

 

[Punt0 DAN]

get it done by the pro's, film can rip easily and bubbles looks sh!te if not done pro, IMO

sure most will agree

prices seem about right

 

[puntosports]

why spend 30 quid on film then bits to heat the film tools and unnessary bother!

100 quid is a good deal!

 

[ozzy39]

Because with a steady hand and a bit of time, it wouldnt look to bad, granted not as good as a proffesional job, but some of us are students

 

[mcjacko1987]

im going to leave it to the pros and pay the 100. iv never done tints on my own and im not even going to try as i no il mess up and waste the £30. i get wound up easy with stuff like that. the pros do a real good job that lasts and doesnt look messy. its worth the extra £70 as they do the full job (parts and time) because if i spent £30 on film.mess it up and waste it then its another £30 for more film.wich then id only save £40.and also i may mess that sheet up.lol

i totaly agree wich is why im going to splash the cash on pro jobs.
iv seen the quatity the garage does where i got my quote.they had a feerari outside done, and inside there was a subaru 1996 impreza coupe. wich they had just finished tinting and vinyling. look very nice and tints where very well done.
i will be very happy paying full price for them. D.I.Y job i dont trust myself lol.

iv got my front to done and not been stop for it yet. its one of them things where as long as its not blacked out they dont really give a ****. if you get pulled and then start acting like a dick head mouthing off of to them then they will more then likely do you for them where as if you get pull and dont act like a noob 100% they will not say a thing

your windows have a tint on them from stardard so anyflim you put on takes it over the legal limit

What's the maximum percentage of tint you can have for your windows in the UK?.

I know your not allowed to tint the front window (or at least not much), but what about the front two side windows?.

Any info is apreicated, thanks.

What is allowed and what is installed is quite different things. Very often people ask OutLaw TintZ.......
But allowed % is:
Windshield - 25%
Drivers left and right - 30%.
