Morning everyone,
I had a forum favourite's car in over the weekend for a 15% privacy film to be added to the rear 3 windows.
I've added a few pictures below to give a good idea of what window film can look like if done properly :happy2:
I'll let the pics do the talking,
Nick :drinking:

Nick, have you got any close up photos of the rear window?
I want mine tinted, but I've always been put off by the border that you often see, and the finish over the heated screen lines.
How much do you charge for a 5 door Golf?

Hi Andrew
Due to the nature of the dot matrix round the window there is usually a border as you say. It's due to the dots raising the tint film off the glass.
After a few days of drying, the border can be mostly pressed out, removing the border.
I'm just @ work at the moment, so I'll upload the pictures of my rear glass when I'm home and pm you with a price.
Nick :happy2:

Is the 15% similar to the OEM privacy glass for the rear?
-
Looks good Nick - presumably the film doesn't effect the heating elements in any way?
-
Looks great Nick :happy2:
Please could I have a price on a 3dr?
Cheers

That's right Andrew. I've been using mine every morning over the winter :happy2:

It is mate yes. I stock lots of other tint shades too incase you'd prefer lighter or darker. (But this is my favourite :innocent:)
Looks great Nick :happy2:

Pm'd :drinking:

has someone had a bad experience with window tinting? :confused:
-
Sorry?
-
Sorry?
you mentioned "when its done properly" so wondered if there is a company to avoid.
-
I've seen loads of examples of poor window tinting, hence my questions above. Could be down to poor workmanship, poor materials etc.
-
Yeah Andrew hit the nail on the head. :happy2:
It wasn't particually a pop at anyone in particular :innocent: Materials make a tremendous difference to the finish.

Where are yous based mate
