Title: Sonniboy Before / After Pics
Post by: MikLSP on June 22, 2014, 01:32:39 am
I know a lot of people always ask for decent before and after shots of the Sonniboy window shades so I thought I'd take the opportunity to provide some.

I bought mine from Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002W7BSZU/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE) and fitting them is really very easy with 4 clips attached to each side window frame and 2 clips on the rear shade which slot under the boot plastic.
Once the clips are in, it is literally a 2 minute job to remove / refit.

Anyway, here are the images, I hope they are helpful :happy2:

Plus a side view, unfortunately the reflections were bright and I had no polarising filter.

Update:
Just thought I'd add another picture here as it shows the shades quite well in the side windows. I should also add that I have been really impressed with the added benefits of these from still having privacy with the windows down and how well they cut out wind ingress at the same time.

Nice before / after comparison.

The Amazon link is a good shout, avoids any fx charge when using ebay.de.

whats the advantage of these over getting the windows tinted? is it just that they're easily removed?

You don't inform your insurance company.

Are these not a bit sh*t in reality? Don't they accumulate dead flies?
