around £200

I cant see how yours are LIMO tints.. as these let less than 5% of light through but in your picture i can see right through

[Curry23]

you can still through the rear on that pic. i have been in/seen limo's where you cant see through them no matter how close up you get to it etc. yours still look very dark thou mate

[super c00per]

Is it worth getting the whole car tinted or just the back ones behind the drivers seats? In my last car I had limo tints in the back and a light smoke one the fronts and they didnt make much difference on the fronts.

Out of personal preference what do you guys prefer?

[:: Jon ::]

i think an all round equal light smoke tint works well...

but it is illegal now.. so unless you want trouble from the law i would advise against it..

I am having the rear windows of my Mini tinted on Thursday, had tints on my old Focus all round and gotpulled into VOSA checkpoint. Had to take of the tints on the front so i will go safe and just have the back done.

Medium Smoke all round cant remember % but can find out

not sure what % is, think its about 37%

depends on your position to the car aswell for how dark they look aswell.
but looks nice

Hi Guys,

Thinking of Tinting my own car, does anyone think this is a good idea? or will it look stupid? Has anyone else done a DIY tint job? if so, do you have any piccies? and where did you get your tint kit from?

Thanks

[Cooooooperslad]

Robbie unless you are really good and practiced for what its worth there is no point. The films you get for DIY areno where near as good as the proffesional tint film and its really hard to do without getting dust/hairs or creases in and you'll never be happy with the end result.

Just had my windows tinted limo to medium to light. Just wondering wot every1 thought bout it. Cant help thinking bout getting pulled over kind of wish I had got a lighter tint on the passenger windows. Let me know what you's think Appreciate the feedback. cheers

[Buz999]

Medium Smoke all round (looks more like dark), had it since 20th May with no problems so far. Even been pulled over at night and they didn't notice

[Lorenzo7]

wooryin bout getting pulled quite a bit to b honest! if I do I hope they just tell me to take them off and not do anything else!

OK, this is how it works on tints,
technically, all tints are illegal on front.
if you get stopped for driving like a loony, by a traffic cop, then he will go round your car and pick on everything he can, tyre scrub if car lowered, exhaust noise, lights if not stock, number plate alterrations and of course window tints, have known of cops making the poor kid peel of the tints by the side of the road.

can the police pull you over simply for tinted windows?? say in moving traffic

[-deano-]

hey!

well ive just been reading through this thread but i still have a question,

me and another mini2 guy had tinted my back windows last night using the limo style tint, we took about 2 hours per window and have to say it looks fab, not a bubble or crease in it! and all the tint cost 7 quid! cant be bad to that now eh!!!!

but my question is, is there a legal limit for the back windows, i.e the back seat windows and the rear window of the car, we are going to give the back windscreen a go this week but we are only going to use smoke tint for it, but im just worried incase i get pulled or fail my MOT for them even being too dark?

thanks for youre help!
