Been looking into window tinting and the place near me that can do it is called Glass Tint..... I have been on there website and really dont know which tint to tell them I want, theres loads to chose from..... I basically want 35% alround, as I know thats the legal reguirement on the front windows and want to keep it the same all the way around...
Can you please look here: http://www.glasstint.co.uk/tintedseriesspecsheet.htm
and advice me on what one I should go for.
Cheers

Right I'e rang them ant they said I can have whatever tint I want for £200..... Is that a good price?
Added to that list above they do something called desert smoke??
I was also advised to get 40%/45% on the front windows, not 35%.... something to do with visability??

Also seen as you cant tint the front windscreen I wanna get a sun strip instead...... will I be able to get a sunstrip in the same colour as the tints?

pity ur from down south mate otherwise i'd have go u a good discount wat to do is get 35% all round but on ur back go darker cause it's a larger window it'll look light anyway plus ur windscreen is directly in front of it so it will appear light at all times i'd go for that but for £200 tell them to make u up a visor as well

ok i think this is right but i can be wrong..
wen they say 35% does it mean the windows are tinted darker by 35% or they are tinted darker by 65%?? letting 35% of the light through?
i was a bit confused?
