Lightbulb Screen colour

I am getting my roof resprayed and with this both screens need to come out. Being highly likely the front will break I am opting for a heated one to be installed.
Being £20 difference between clear and green I think green would be better.
I can't help but wonder if a green tint & thin wires through it may make it to dark over the clear.

Anyone got a car with a heated screen? What colour is the glass?

Oh and can anyone confirm if my parts list is correct.

Of course the correct way of doing it is to remove the screens but success can be had by pushing a plastic coated wire under the seal to lift the rubber enough to get good coverage, at least it did 20 odd years ago when i was in the body work industry.

By the way i would replace like for like when it comes to glass. Top tints to me screams Sharon loves Kevin like back in the 80,s

I did wonder if the seal could just be lifted to save money but I'd rather do it the correct way.

There are several stone chips close to the edges and I think I'd rather the painter remove it.

My screen already has a decent chip on the passenger side and I like the benefit of an after market heated one.

A jdm oem one is silly expensive and I don't think the heated have a black, green or brown bar along the top but the whole thing has a light tint. Or none as the cheaper option.
