I'm not into the limo it's just to dark and the look is abit past it nowadays.

I do like the rear window, rear sides being very smoked and then the driver and passenger doors being on the limit.

Agree with the 20% tint. Good enough for general provacy without losing too much light. Try reversing in the dark with heaviliy tinted rear windows and see what I mean.

Our campervan has 20 tints and we are very happy with them.

Used a pro company and got 5 windows done for about £150.... I think. Not the front sides though obviously cos that's illegal.

Personally I think tints look better darker, Jame5 with your car being black it would look awesome with a 50% tint!

Sherlock, I have to say those tints do really suit your car, initially I was skeptical but having seen the photos I am now considering getting mine done


Happy

Can't afford it right now but just getting an idea of price, I was thinking as dark as possible within the legal limits for the front windows then getting the rears to match so the tint is the same all round.

The front windows are already tinted from the factory, you basically can't tint them any more (or definitely no more than another 5%-10%, so not worth it) without making them illegal.

Might have to have a re-think, not too keen on the rears being darker than the fronts. irked

James i spoke to Pentagon Reading amd they will do the back window and rear side windows for £150 and if you want front windows doing add an extra £70. These prices are for any shade of tint and comes with a life time warranty - these guys are brilliant.
