Tinting

[Rikki Kitto]

To tint or not to tint, that is the question

[Error404]

if its a Corsa and you are 17 then maybe.

Hard to know.
I reckon it depends on what shape of car your doing and what colour the car is.
Personally I like a light tint on the front doors and a darker shade on the rear quater windows. Kinda like how you see some imprezas are done.

I have the rear windows on my coupe tinted, keeps some heat out in the summer time

I think when going for tints less is more , a subtle tint that is still transparent is way more effective than drug dealer stylee!

Of course all side windows need to be the same tint, the rear window can be a little bit darker. Here is my bimmer with 50% tint on the side windows: Klick!

Tint, but I agree, less is more, tinted not painted! Also prefer all the side windows the same but in the UK we are not allowed to add extra tint to the front side.

Mixed feelings on this then, think I might just leave standard until the more important things are finished then have a re-think,

[s2martyn]

a little harsh alex..
a LOT of the high end motors come standard with tints,bmw,merc,etc
i9 agree that when someone mentions tints,chavs and drug dealers do spring to mind

a good tint can compliment a car or kill it

I went for quite a dark tint on the S6 because there's just so much glass. I love the way it looks and it's so much cooler in the summer - makes a big difference. It also means people can't see what i'm carrying in the back, so feel much happier about leaving golf clubs etc in there.

I have the back windows tinted on my passat estate pretty dark, i think it was the second darkest i could get. i Quite often carry bikes and things in the back so like the privacy it gives. Also good if you have a stripped out car so it does not draw attention. Personal preference i think.

The rear window and rear side windows on my Family car are very dark tinted, great during sunny days, but when reversing at nite time out of driveways etc, you just cant see a bloody thing.
I have to wind down both windows to see if anything is coming
