Which window tint...?

  1. #1
    OK I know it's mainly down to personal preferance but how dark would people say I should go on the back three windows of a silver saxo desire. was thinking maybe a shade darker on the side windows than on the tailgate.

    has anyone got any pictures of different shades of tint you could post please.

    Cheers, Hammy

    the front ones you are only allowed a maximium of 30% and for the back it depends if you want people to be able to see in your car or not??? if not, tint em 100%
    if this ent whats makin you decdie then it depends on the colour of your lights and alloys, you got black alloys or lights?? if so 100% if not i would go anyfin between 60-80%

    None in my opinion.
    But if you want it done, nothing too dark. Slightly darker than standard might look good, especially as it is a silver saxo.

    tints are tacky imo

    had them, but they made my car look like i was a drug dealer, and very impractical.. reversing at night was a challenge

    tints are quite chavvy along with lexarse lights

    imo - have the same shade tints all the way around the car!

    have the darkest on the front leagally and then the same % all the way round!

    unfourtuantly no tints are legal on the front, the amount times i was pulled i just ended up taking the front ones off, i have just the back two windows and a darker shade on the back window. no front tints anymore.

    ok thanks everyone, I've got the rear lights smoked so was thinking quite dark as stoner said...maybe dark smoke as opposed to limo though which I've heard is a nightmare as ashleyprigmore said.

    How about the split tints, so half is black and the other half silver or whatever colour matches the motor. Or even tints like that off of the MK1 Scooby's, they look smart!!

    good idea / bad idea..??

    not fussed on the half tints welshy, have you got pics of the mk1 scooby tints though?

    nemo i def wouldn't recommend tints all the way around police have been tightening up on them recently, and they wouldn't get through MOT if your car's that age!
