Window Tints

So has anyone on here had any window tints, and if so where from ?

I'm looking to get the rear window and the rear sides done, somewhere up near the midlands, but i've got no experience at all and wondered if anyone else has ??

Cheers

The law is no more than 30% tint (70% light transmission) on the front which looking at some pictures is basically clear! yours look way darker and I'd bound to get a tug and be made to peel it off!

that looks great. so if you don't mind me asking what did you pay?

I've had a quote of around £200 for the rears?? never had it done before so I'm kinda unsure what I'm looking for.

200 for just rears is a lot. I paid £180 for all round and no haggling or anything

Have a friend in Scotland that has tinted all my previous cars windows
£180 I paid for my Tints

front windows 35% smoked tint is maximum
Depending on car color will determine if the rear and back will look good with limo tint ????????

Limo tint is fine from inside looking out and total privacy from outside looking in
