you ARE the man they look amazing
have you found the reversing problem yet on the polo*
how much did it set you back if you dont mind
oh and on the rear window how many sectons did they use?

* on the mk5 there is only 1 reversing light so if your tinted then at night its a pita to reverse due to the lack of light and also the tint , mine are only about 40% (i recon) and it was hard for me (btw the wierd looks when you roll down both front windows are normal)

Not tried reversing yet

It cost Â£245 inc VAT from Autotek in Sheffield.

They used LLumar tinting film which is supposed to be the daddy.

I've been getting pure looks from pedestrians! Loads of people turning round as I pass them, so they can check it out! Hehe, I hope no one sues me when they break their neck turning round to check it out!

Hehe

I don't know about the rear one... Looks like one piece?

Very nice Josh

Its quite suprising how cheap it is to get good tints, I was pretty amazed when a Salesman told me he got his A4 done for only Â£220 inc VAT

If I have it done will it add weight??

lol
the rear window is actually a double concave surface so it you try and put a single sheet on it then get the centre to stick then there will be creases everwhere so there is 2 options:
put on 3 or more strips that start and finisht butted up to each other with the loing behind a heating element
or
heat the film upo and streach it but this cant be done on all tints

i used the first method

Cool, I had mine done, just before Inters last year. Its surprising how quick you get used to them.

Nice one.
