Question

Hi folks,

I have just got back from Tokyo and want to arrange getting my scoob tinted, after being brainwashed by them over there. I would like a top class job, not the bubble-tastic jobs that you see driving around hounslow etc, but the good stuff I could have sworn that I had previously heard rumblings of this being around about £150+, depending on what you have done.
I would be looking to have it done around the Farnham/Farnborough area, if they drive out, or travel a little way if needed.

Any info/advice gratefully recieved

Cheers,


Nick

35% is the legal minimum for the front side windows - you can go as dark as you like behind the driver, but IMHO it looks best with them all the same. The front windows will always look slightly lighter because the windscreen is clear.

Around 25% you will get away with, once you go much below that it's really dark and obviously below the legal limit. However, it's a bit like dodgy registrations plates - you can go for years without any hassle at all, but one day some plod on a mission will pull you.

Cheers for all of the help guys I have been trying to get hold of securfix, as they are local, but they/he doesn't ever pick up the phone and doesn't seem to reply to phone messages either

I shall try the other recommendations next week
