Question

My car(STI type uk) is going in for some tints tomorrow, I have been trying to find some piccies to see what shades to go for but it seems that anything uploaded with turbosport doesn't work.

Can anyone recommend what to go for as I don't want it coming back like a pimp mobile.

Cheers
Rich

35% all round. Just had me STI8 done and it is the business. Not too dark from the outside and the same from inside too. 35% is also the darkest you can legally go on your front windows

A big thanks to Barry at Shades in Heywood, just picked the car up and it looks great. 35% on the front and 20% on the rest, doesn't look too dark.

How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

I paid £250 for all windows (apart from the front)and a top job was done. I would thoroughly recommend Barry, I had a phone call within 3 hours to say job was done.
If you decide to use him say Richard with the STI sent you and I will get a tenner!!

Cheers

Someone told me the other day that the new legal limit on the front has changed to 22%, don't know if this is right or not but I thought I would mention it.

rs - any chance of you posting a pic or three up? I'm in the market for tints but finding sample pics is a bit difficult. Cheers.
