Colin-mkiv Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I had 5% (limo) tint on the tailgate and 50% (very light smoke) on all the sides. I decided on the 50% due to disliking the effect of having the rear windows tinted darker than the fronts. Its given the effect of the car being tinted darker on the side having the tailgate done so dark. I'm very happy. Fosta might have to post a pic for me though cos I cant do it....

Supra-duper Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 That looks smart with the black wheels, considering tinting mine possibly in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham1984 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 What is it with the red cars and them looking like the passenger side door is a different shade of colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 What is it with the red cars and them looking like the passenger side door is a different shade of colour. Because red are more susceptible to change when exposed to UV, although not sure why its always the doors. but it does make sence for bumpers. back on topic though, the tints look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 What is it with the red cars and them looking like the passenger side door is a different shade of colour. Mine has had a full respray and in the flesh theres no difference at all. Must be how the light is catching the wing and 1/4 panel making them seem darker.

Graham1984 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Thanks for clearing that up, Mine looks fine when stood on an angle but head on in certain light you can see a slight change. Tints look nice mate and they are handy for when people don't dip their lights when they are behind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin-mkiv Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 No mate, I need a TB with the TPS and the throttle stops all in untouched and known to be working states. Just so that I can rule that area of the intake system out. Next will be new fuel filter and known to be good pump.haha did you get the smoke problem sorted?
