To peel a tint off, pick at a corner and should pull off easily. Then nail varnish remover works a treat to get the glue off.

I second this, but i used glue remover from B&Q. Easier to pick at bottom corners.

Cheers lads, got them off with no probs today. I was actually suprised how easy it was, I was expecting a tough job. It just peeled off and just used some "stuff" a mate bought along, which worked a treat in getting the glue spots off.

Just need to decide whether to leave it as it is - clear windows front, dark windows back or get some legal tints for the front. I can't do anything about the rears as it's a Type R.

I may post some pic's up tommorow and get some opinions?
