WINDOW TINTING
Hi All,
Finally get my new WRX SL wagon tomorrow with PPP - can't wait!
(Have been confined to Audi A4 2.0 for a year, after 4 yrs in MY99)
I am going to get the windows tinted (rears and rear screen) so my little girl of 2 doesn't need welding goggles in the back on a sunny day.
I am keen to get something legal (i.e. >30%) and have seen a few professional outfits charging some fairly silly money.
Is this a practical DIY job? If so, where can I get the film from, and has anyone had any experience of doing it themselves, and it coming out OK? Or should I lighten up and pay the pros circa £200 to get them done so I don't make my pride and joy look like a MK1 Escort that's had half of halfords thrown at it?
All advice greatly appreciated...
Andy

Unless you know what you're doing, i personally would let the pros deal with it. I reckon there is more to it than meets the eye.
Got mine done for £150, tho mines a 4 door not a wagon. If i remember correctly they do wagons for £160 or £170. (thats for all the glass, excluding the windscreen obviously ) They are based in Dinnington near Worksop. If you want their number send us a PM
Cheers

Smudge as long as you don't touch the front windows you are fine, the rears can be as dark as you like. DIY is not someting I would suggest, best find someone local who has had good customer feedback. Pentagon are very good but you are paying for a premium service, you pays for what you get.
