Hi All

I've just got back from having my windows tinted by Tinter...

Photos to follow tomorrow, but I just thought I'd say how impressed I am with the work!

Cheers Tinter!

Hi Aaron

I had 50% on the sides and 35% on the rear screen.

Looks very subtle, but you can tell it's been done.

Fantastic price and fantastic quality of workmanship

I want mine done by the same guy, but new tyres come first above 50% tints :?

Here are my photos from yesterday:

This is why I love AND hate living out in the Peak District!

My rear screen - 35% Tint

Image
The art of cutting the tint to shape...

Image
...and sticking it in place!

Image
Pre-Shrinking Gary's rear screen tint after cutting to fit (this is done on the outside, before being stuck to the inside of the window).

Gary's rear screen finished!

Gary's dirty, but tinted car!

Looks good! But yeah, not as dark as I was expecting you'd go for, especially as the GTi had darker tints... at least you won;t get pulled by the boys in blue eh? :wink:

Damm that looks good (the vRS) why oh why don't they do a 3 door version - no says to himself *must resist dark side *remember diesels are slow noisy and the fuel is smelly

Looks good! But what's up with the difference in color on the front bumper?

(Could be just the angle messing it up)
