Well set off at 7:30am to go to Gatwick Autoshades to have my windows tinted on the SRi,
I got there in like 45 mins LOL i thought it would of taken longer :/
Anyhow after pissing around in a services for a bit i went and parked outside their unit.
Went in the door and inside was some proper mint cars
blue R33 skyline GTr (had been in the eurogumball stickers all over it)
white RX7 type R full kit, light conversion graphics, looked and sounded AWSOME!
And also a red redline focus he tinted yesterday,
Anyhow gave him my keys he backed in my car and just told me to chill out on the sofa and watch gumball DVD's 
The guy who was tinting my car was only 18, and his work is just pure class!
I was just amazed how good he was, i kept walking over to him chattin etc etc, and he was just so good.
They removed the front windows and tinted them off the car...
Halfway into one of the gumball DVD's this guy pulls up in a veilside kitted supra...
Came in and started chatting to me, said he thought me car was sweet 
Later on i found out he was the owner/ founder of the gumball europe!
The blue R33 was his too!
He told me later on that his car is getting shipped out to america on weds and hes going to be driving all around it promoting all the new guumballs for nextyear
Wish i had took me camera with me.
Anyhow car was soon done and after they tinted it they gave it a quick wash for me 
I would defently reccommend going down there..
Not only for window tiniting but for anything for your car...
They do everything there! have 10000s of wheels, kits etc etc
Also import jap cars

he had done 30% on the focus, and it looked so dark

20 on back yeah,
the tints are the same as i had before,
just done to a better quality!
The pics really do make the rears look V dark!
but it does match up alot better in flesh
if i had got 30 front it would of been to dark, and i would of been worried about getting pulled over!

Rears look to dark IMO!
I got 35% on the front and back side windows and then 20% on the rear screen cuz stops abit more light than the front so the rear sides look a little darker than the fronts!

and they are open tomorrow right? Might pop down and make a few enquiries as to price for mine and how soon they can do it. Does anyone know how much in advance you have to book them, as with such a good reputation im guessing they will have a waiting list or something.
