   I would have said under £50-100 they are pretty simple to change over and reasonably cheap parts too, hope that helps

   I've never heard of a modified car being an advisory on an mot, unless its a typical 'modified' car with daft bumpers and crap on it

   For how long it takes to change a drop link is do it to put the money towards powder coat.

   Sounds like a dodgy MOT. Anyway, windows you're looking at £100-130 for the rear 3 to be done. Probs cheaper to buy the rear sides from a scrappy then take it to a tinting place to get the back window done to match.

   For starters, Decat doesnt pass a normal MOT shop lol. So would you like to tell me where you're getting it done so i can go there too?
   
   Secondly, 150+ for rear 3 tints.
   
   That's about right for a proper paint job on alloys.
