Im toying with the idea of tinting our sti8 when it arrives, has anyone had this done by the dealer or have they got it done by a company. Priced it with the dealer and its slightly cheeper than taking it myself, also whats the most popular tint?

Had mine done at Keith Price by the guys from Merthyr...top job, cant fault it.

What colour is your STi ?...i had the light smoke all round and it looks superb, any darker on a black STi looks too much

Affraid I cant post pics on scoobynet, but if you want me to email you a couple, should be able to sort it out

Regards

Gareth

Gareth if you could send pic i`ll be grateful, my 8s blue, possibly having next week sometime. I might use sumroof & stripes though, as if you listen to the companies in cardiff cvc use them all, and with a difference in price £180 cheepest (5 tints in half a day) to £275+ vat ( 5 tints 1-2 days keeping the car)Theres no way id leave the car for 2 days with someone, but if an owner will leave an £87,000 rangie with s&s i`ll contemplate leaving my scoob.

Hel,
Had mine done today at Auto-tint in Cardiff. Excellent job. No complaints. Why go thru a dealer. They'll only want their cut as well.

Hi,

Yes, Auto-tint in Cardiff are good. Has mine for almost a year now and I have had no problems. The price is also reasonable.

Question

I couldnt find auto tint in the directory, onlt motor tint/madol (same company) they want £180 for 5 windows and take half a day. As for giving dealer money , i dont expect i will and as i dont know the companies in cardiff for work/ reliability, thats why were thinking of sunroof&stripes who are simmilar priced to CVC.
You could send a pic of your car though and address for autotint please.
