   Me and a few mates are thinking of getting our windows tinted next week, but im not sure whether it will make my car look a bit like a van!!
   If i do decide to get it done i was thinking light smoke on rear three then 30% tint on front sides. lol, i dont want a load of talk about whats legal on the front and whats not, just your opinions on how the car would look.
   
   Its a silver mrk.2 vtr, what do you guys think?
   
   Regards

   If they are subtle they look ok IMHO, it does have the tendancy to look like a van as you suggested!

    limo black....
    
    
    Looks shite, not my opinion, just a blatant FACT
    
    
    If starting from the windscreen you want to gradually 'develop' the tintage. non of this Straight to limo black rubbish... I'd personally go for 30% front windows, 60% rears window, 80% (or 60%) rear window.
    
    much nicer
