I'd stay away unless you had a bit of practice. Having seen a couple of tints installed it takes a fair amount of skill and patience to which I have neither

It's easy on windows that are flat or only curved in one plane.

Curved in 2 planes you need to be good and use a heatgun.

dont bother with pre cut, one mistake and your fooked, its a whole new set. If your desperate get the roll of film, or if your really really adventurous there is spray on tint, i used it on the 2 side windows and it dulled them a bit, but it just run off the back. Other thenn that its a profesional job!!!

Just buy a roll from halfrauds, your side windows are only bolted in anyway, rear will be the only hard one.

Id pretty much say the back window is impossible unless your a pro or you have at least 5 goes at it. Side windows on a corsa are pretty hard but not impossible took me a few trys to get them perfect. Why send like £50 on a pre cut set when you can make paper templates and cut it yourself from a £15 roll and have some left over when you fuck it up

The 106 rear quarter windows are held in by 3 T20 or T25 screws.

That's what I was meaning Chris, the amount of ebay specials you see on the road with rear windows tints like that is shocking. All bubbled and patchy. It's not as easy as they say

I'd just pay the money and get it done properly imo unless you want the bin liners hanging in windows look.
