Most people only wear sunglasses when it's err sunny!

I heard of of a crysler voyger being impounded in Manchester for overly tinted fronts, it had been driven out of the dealership 3 days earlier brand new with factory fitted tints!

If you live in a rough area it might be worth getting light or clear tints on the front, the film strengthens the glass and stops it getting put in if someone tries to smash it.

We do this on our trucks for health and safety as they are on and off construction sites all day.

I tinted my own windows and unless you know what you are doing I wouldn't bother with precut ones. It took me so many attempts that I needed 3 long rolls for 2 cars. You only get one chance to get it right with the precut one, get one bit wrong and it will cost you another ?45 to get more. At least with a roll you get a good few tries. Get a roll off ebay for about a tenner and see how you get on, once you have cut the shape keep the clear backing plastic as a template for the window on the other side or to recut another piece if you mess it up.

Here's mine, by no means perfect and not as good as my wife's Rav4 but both cars cost me ?30 in total (was quoted nearly ?300 for the Rav alone!) so not too bad BUT it is a real pain to do!
