KimberleyAnn Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I dont really like these, but i need my rear 2 windows doing. The jap who had it before put some sort of tint on it, and the sun has bleached it or something, and it looks awful! Does anyone know somewhere i can get it done? down south?

Guest Nicholas Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I paid to have my tints removed when I got my car, looks tacky imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missile Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 If you get a good job done it really can inhance the look. Each to their own I think. Some cars really don't suit it. I've been quoted £160 For the main rear and the two tiny rear quarters, With a very light tint on the front two. I've been told the police are quite hot on this, If it to dark you can be in a world of annoyance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I have this same problem on mine, I must have the only "original" kenwood rear window. It is annoying and im not sure there is anything to get the staining out of the window - I have tried everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I need someone who'll do a dark tint on the front, was trying to get it done at GVN but was told that the people they use didn't have it dark enough.... think they may be a tad illegal:innocent: but need my driver's side redoing due to a stone scratch done the inside...

kieren1234 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 The old tint should just peel off fine and then just use a stanley knife blade to get the rest of the sticky stuff off, or get something like "goo-gone" to get it off. IMO i think the tints look nice on the back, and will look great with the colour of you're supe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mk47 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 tints look great imo when done properly. i know a really good place in leicester who do a great job as he only does tints from his unit so give me a shout if you get stuck. mines slightly over the limit but dont get any trouble round here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fri3ndly Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I have tinted rear windows, and my insurance company are trying to squeeze another £195 out of me just because of this. I dont know why but i have not got a clue how they can justify that cost. All my other mods are declared, but I mentioned 'I was getting' tinted windows and they said it will cost £195 to insure them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisjames Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i did it for a living, yes tint can just peel of but it leaves a crap glue residue behind wich is a pita to get off. i will tint a soup all round for £120. the police will only check your pass and driver window if your taking the piss in my experience. ive tinted over 400 cars and only had to remove front tints twice, once on my range rover which admitidley were limo so was abit ott, and once when the particular officer had a bit of a vendetta with me! long story!. the tint goes funny and purple on imports because its crap tint and gets old.

razza Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 How dark is your medium? I'm keen to keep them the same level of darkness as they currently are, I haven't had any bother with the old bill so far so will take my chances as I prefer the darker shading What area do you cover, or do I need to get to you?

Big Mark Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 i will tint a soup all round for £120. I wish I lived nearer to you, I'd be around in a shot. I want all mine done, light smoke all around I reckon. OGTinting are the only people I know near me that do tinting, they've done at least one members car. I'm up in Yarm from Friday till Monday this weekend. Anyone up there do window tinting at a good price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest you need to apply for a HOBBYIST membership. We do allow for people who do things as a hobby when its small scale. If you take a look through the member rules it explains how the hobbyist membership works and as nobody else does window tinting then it would be a good addition to the club, especially with the prices you are quoting.

mwilkinson Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 No doubt I will be corrected by some of our resident Police officers, but fronts can be done as long as they allow 75% of light through. Surrey Police have a devise, the name escapes me, that they use on roadside stops. They can demand that the vehicle has the tint removed there and then and if not the vehicle can be impounded for failure to comply with some road traffic act/MOT thing!!
