Question

Hi Peeps. I am keen to get the windows tinted on the Volvo (it is a T5!) and was wondering if any of you have someone to recommend to me? I have looked at the Halfords type kits but don't want to screw it up and would prefer it done professionally! If you can let me know personal experiences, who used, how good, how much, mobile or shop based etc I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.

Don't forget, the windscreen must let in at least 75% light, the front side windows must let in at least 70%. Any less and you risk a ticking off (or more) from the boys in blue.

Tim,

Have a word with Spike at Listers (01905 640512) as a customer of theirs had his P1 done recently. Very expensive, but very impressive.

Xtreme in Harlow did my 5-door Scoob for a little over £220 and guaranteed for as long as I own the car.
