Look around for some proffesional , make sure if you get the front done then it is LEGAL. I got mines done recently with a 50% film on all side windows and a 35% film on the tailgate window.  This is my Sport with tints. |

Looked on Google too no avail for profesional tinters....Thinking about 35% rear windows only....??  |

Where do you live dude? There will be pro's around you somewhere. Even if its a 60 odd mile round trip, its deffo worth going professional!! 35% on rears would be fine mate. I always think its down to personal opinion anyway really |

Thanks , yup thats the standard spoiler. Im just back in from seeing a guy about spraying my CTR replica spoiler. My big bro was going to do it but he is so busy at work. Its now getting sprayed over the weekend so will have it fitted next week.
Suppose when it comes to tints its all about owner preference. If you wanted to drive up Scotland i could get you a discount. Could get you your tints done from same place as mines for £140 - £150. :wink:

Definately get a professional to do it. Tints are very hard to do yourself. As you'll get creases/airbubbles etc and wont look as good.
Professionals range from £25 - £50 a window, so its well worth getting them to do it.

Dude go to a profetional(sp?) they take your car in the isolation chamber and do it properly. You woudnt want your baby being born on your door step, neither do you want tinted winds being dont on your step. I went to these guys www.thetintman.co.uk i know they are no where near you and there in the north west, but have a read of their website and how they go about tinting windows. It cost me £150 two years ago. |
