Alright mate,

New to the site.

theres a place down birchwood road up puddle dock lane near dartford who are good and reasonably priced; sure you know roughly where that is.

Prices vary but they are a fully approved company etc.

If you are interested let me know and i'll give you details.

Apparently there's a new law coming in july that bans any tints on front windows and it is being applied retrospectively to jan this year!! This is due some high profile accidents. (see your local tintmasters for further details.)

you get what you pay for. AFAIK ... some tints don't last that long.

i paid £225 for 4 sides + rear from someone who's doing main dealer work. very good service.

iian,

the number for shock graffix is 01322 527434. you may have to leave your contact details unless you call tonight id say, as the number is not his workplace but office. Tell him Bill with the Honda Civic gave you details.

All: I'm looking and saving to buy a scoob so don't cane me too much for having a honda, there not too bad.

Need any more info mate let me know.

As for the new law thing i think they've just said that they need to be a shade lighter than what was previously legal but the guy there will explain all if you ask, he's very helpful!

hope this helps.

Not heard about a change in the law but its been illeagal to have a dark tint on the fronts for quite some time. I think the minimum is 35%... most tinters should recormend over this.
Problem is I've seen countless motors mainly MPV's and X5's with spupid dark tints on the front. They have obviously have been done proffesionaly so its down to the muppets who did it!

In all honesty the police should crack down on illegal fronts, its someonce life they could be saving. when Mr muppet in his X5, on his mobile pulls out on a bike!

Had the 4 side and rear on my Terzo done by Kevlon Tints in Bexley village in a great shade of blue. They also have green and dark grey in varying densities, did a great job even down to removing glass and placing in warm airbox overnight to completely remove any bubbles before inserting glass back onto car.
Job took 2 days but well worth it.

Andy.
