I saw an Evo 8 at PE on sat that had tints and mudflaps and must admit was quite impressed what do others think of tints etc ?


Mike

 

Don't do it !!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Noooooooooo, to chav for my liking.

 

Im going for a light tint on the cossie, similar to what some new cars have.

 

Thats what i was thinking Ben i am sure you would have seen the car i was on about,


mike

 

My first car had very poorly applied limo tint all round
Other cars @ night were just two purple dots

Look's on on big 4x4/luxury cars but that's about all imo

 

Can't see shit out the back of mine at night.

still waiting to reverse into something!

 

Check out www.rpbtints.co.uk and have a look in the tinting gallery

It will give you an idea how different cars look and how some cars are enhanced by the right tint and how some arent.....

 

as you say i think it depends on car


i will be having a slight tint to me plastic windows on me s1

 

Looks ok on the right car i think, don't really think it suits white cars though. Mine had it done when i got it, always liked to be honest, was awesome for shagging in, back in the day.....
it's in my sig.

 

Jock yeah I saw that one.

I had a cavalier years ago with tints but that was horrible, way too dark.

Some of the range rovers were I work have tints and they are ok at night, can still see the cars parked next too ya

 

Jock, Gary's is lightly tinted. Hardly noticeable to those that didn't see it before, but made alot of difference IMO.

 

Um i thought it was i might look into this


cheers mike

 

I quite like it, altho is a bit dark really.

 

You can do it in photoshop, just for an idea

 

 

Dont look to bad imo, so long as its not 'limo' black


Just a light tint is ok

 

think evos and scoobies look ok mate imo


cheers jay

 

thats not a very good pic Jock, i'll get another one in the week.

 

Put a couple of pic's up Jock and i'll tint your ride

 

TOTALLY depends on the car and the color.

I have had the last 2 of my normal cars tinted and they both looked good imho........Dont know whether to do the Mondeo VERY lightly

Here is what i had done


Range Rover with the backs slightly darker than the fronts










Vectra with a Darkish tint all round including the front screen

 

some tints look shabby but some look good i think it depends on the colour of the car

 

Not a great lover of the tints myself.......although rear tints on the scoobys look guuuuuud.

 

a was,nt a big fan of tints but after a few weeks a go used to them

 

Can't see the point of having tints. You're limited to what density you can have them on the windscreen and front driver/passenger sides. Then if you go darker for the rears, it makes the car look odd IMO.

Taken from Vosa

Stopping drivers
Both the police and VOSA are now stopping vehicles with tinted windows and checking the Visual Light Transmission (VLT) through
windscreens and side windows. If the light getting through is less than is legally required, the driver may be prohibited from using the
vehicle until the tint is removed. Motorists who don’t rectify the problem may be prosecuted.

The legal limits for window tinting are a minimum of:
● 70 per cent VLT for side windows
● 75 per cent VLT for windscreens on vehicles first used after April 1985 and 70 per cent VLT for those first used prior to that date.

 

Like you say, depends on the colour, personally i think my car wouldn't look half as good without the windows the way they are. Don't like it on white cars as i said earlier before you think i have some sort of tint fetish....

 

Cheers for the pics guys,

Matt if you could post a couple more pics up that would be great,


cheers mike
