Hi Craig,

After loads of looking around, had mine done last week in truro, was £150 for rear 3, did a great job. Was done by Global Tint, they work from Flying Sparks, bit of a pig to find though. 01872230048. They mentioned something about family/friends discount aswell (didnt hear properly as kids were bored by that time lol), so if you do to them might be work mentioning you've been recomended to them. We will be going back before the summer to do my wifes car.

Lee

Thats how I understand it, ish. I think that technicaly you cannot use any aftermarket tints on any front windows, but a blind eye is turned to 'sensible' tints on front sides, NO tints at all on windscreen. I'm quite happy with rear 3 done, if I went for full blackout on the rears, then I think I would have a very slight tinit on fronts.

Mate which is your car down there would be good to have a lil look at it, going to be there all day so will have to fill it with a few bits and bobs

running in isn't so bad, I found its quite a good way to understand the cars handling as you aren't using the power to corner. I actually ran over the 1000 mark this morning, felt like i should stop and take a picture.

Rota drifts are just so lush, definitely my long term aim, i started drawing up my complete list that i want to do to the car over the next couple of years today. Funnily enough i just got to the bottom of my last list... that took 3years...
Shame on the intercooler mate, i just sold my STi top mount for £50, then realised it was worth wayy more than that, what a doughnut i am!
