i had my windows tinted on my previous car and the only negative point is the rear door windows have a roller inside the door and they leave 2 vertical lines down the glass.

The fella who does my local dealers after market tints done the job.

Would I recommend it? well any after market tints will have a slight problem with ghosting around the dot matrix of the rear screen, I say get it done on a good warm day, unlike me who had the work done on the coldest dampest day we had last year, the net result is the ghosting was more noticable until it dried out, which took ages.

North west tints did mine, again on a cold day so still waiting for it to dry out properly on the rear window,

£155 for all the backs on my touring which is 7 windows. Good price I thought
