Tints - advice please

I'm thinking about having the glass in my E91 tinted. Can anyone recommend a good place to get this done in Warwickshire/Westmidlands? What % of tint would I need installing to get the same look as a factory tinted car? What's a fair price to expect to pay for this?

I've just had my e91 done, I looked into all of the different variations of tint and which windows to do.
I have a huge hate for just rear windows being tinted, I think it looks horrible, especially when done limo or really dark. Even worse on an estate, it just makes it look like a van!
In the end I went for 25% on all side windows, and 50% on the tailgate.
Mine cost £230, sadly the place wasn't near you but I would recommend them, they were in Rushden.
Because it is only a light tint it looks different depending on the angle, for example in this pic the front look lighter because of the light from the windscreen.
If you look from side on the front looks the same as the rears, its very clever doesn't attract attention from the police at all!

PS. Yes I know its illegal to tint the fronts!

That's looking very nice indeed I agree with the just rear tint looking silly but would defo want it legal beagle tho.

When you say the place was in rushden do you mean the rushden in Northamptonshire if so that's not too far if the place was good.
