Window TInts

  1. #1
    Was just wondering what people thought about buying the stuff and doing it yourself?

    or does it not look anywhere near as good? and be better getting it done professionally??

    was also wondering, if any-one from round the Newcastle area could do them if i bought the stuff??

    cheers

    I did mine mineself aswell, except i took the windows out and bought a big roll of it, i then applied it then cut around the window 2 size.

    It wasnt hard, i found doin it my way was alot easier than using the pre cut stuff, maybe because i left the windows in when i tried using it.

    I am gonna get mine do professionally; i reckon it looks better, although if you know exactly what your doing; it can look just as good. How dark are you gonna go at the front? as it is illegal now

    was thinking dark smoke on the front, light smoke on the front

    and the thing about getting the professionals to do it, is that it costs £180, whereas i canget the stuff for about £20, and give somebody £20 and some cans to just do the back one and save myself a bit money

    Is there a guide on here on how to fit and prepare the windows? Was thinking about doing it myself as its cheaper.

    There are guides on the internet and I think they're also mentioned in the Haynes Saxo modifying manual.

    Remember to get the Clio internal seals when putting the tinted windows back in.

    Would try that on a bit of scrap glass first mate. Could end up a rite mess. To be honest i wouldnt think it would be much good for a tenner. Mite be wrong thou.
