Remember any tint to the front side windows renders your car illegal.
As I found out to my horror.
You may also have insurance problems with illegal windows.

:approve::approve::approve:

Don't know if he does window tinting though.

Not that I wan't to drag this issue up again, but I also totally agree with Neil. ANY tint to your front windows will make them illegal.:eek:

...thanks a lot guys. I'm not tiniting the front anyway!! There are aftermarket tints on the rear already but I've never been happy with the back one so was looking to get it replaced. I take it legally you can do what you want with the rears anyway??

Thanks again,

BR

Hamiton auto tint. unit 12 priestfield ind est, Prospect Court, BLantyre, Hamiton G72 0JA 01698 829111,,,, 07754253811. Guy called marc. Does an amazing job. He tinted my car and my last one. job is faultless.Never heard of a bad job. My front windows are 2% over the limit but its not on the invoice that they were tinted by him so.....I also have never been stoped by the traffics for my tints and i hang about places where there are loads of trafic police.Have a look at the pic of my car on my profile for an idea. I think ive got 20% on the back and 50% on the front.

Meant to say ;; will cost abt £180ish for full car. It is worth paying this to get a good quality job.

..finally got my back window sorted on Friday. Mark (Hamilton Auto tints) did it following the recommendation. He did a great job and was a thoroughly good bloke too. BMW dealerships could learn a thing or two in terms of customer communication and service - and he's a one man outfit!

I found the whole experience reassuring - he knows what he's doing, took care doing the work and wasn't out to rip anyone off.

So, if you need your pride and joy tinted give the guy a phone.

Cheers,

BR ;):D:D:D:D:D:D

And thanks to Gordons cooper wrks for the tip - nice one!!
