with the mk 3 days away from going to paint ,

looking to start sorting the external parts for the old girl ,


prob going with new glass ( green tint )

but thinking of going with a lightly smoked tint on them to inkeep with the grey/black theme ,



anyone running tints in there car to give me an idea of how dark to go /???




beef

 

i think a very light tint would look good mate but cant stand dark tints

 

not a fan of tints personally. if you do, make sure they are still see through so the quality workmanship can still be seen..ps, have you organised the glass yet? if not im sure i can sort you out with cheap prices

 

no not yet bri ,

lost your nubmer in the great fone fuck up of 2011 ,

drop me a txt kiddo !!


and would only be a very light tint "

 

think you might be getting me mixed up with someone else beefy, unless a mutual friend has given you it as ive never met you ha. i will pm you with my number then you can text me if you want a price

 

i think a light tint will go well with the theme but don't go dark. i hate dark tints! pluss if there too dark you might not be alowed on track as the marshalls like to see in.

 

I've got dark smoke on mine, it's quite dark you can't see in. Looks alright on black cars but if you've got a light colour then I would have a light smoke. I've tinted a few cars now, getting quite good at it lol

 

yeah definatly smoked

i done a wrongun and ordered clear (perspex) windows as soon as they are scratched up they will be replaced

light smoke would look the best for subtle but tinted

 

sorry fella,


ive a mate whos called dangerbri lol


can see why i got confused lol ,


txt one the way ,

 

Light would look good, but to hide the workmanship within would be criminal

 

lol its got doors and a tailgate that open mate ,

anyway , got a baby to take around in it , dont want the leather interior getting to hot lol

 

like whats already been said mate as long as there not to dark they look good

a few of mine never had any trouble of the cops for them as you are not aloud any tint on the front door windows now, i have the same shade on all the windows apart from the front screen

 

 

think a light smoke is the way to go ,


and applied to fresh glass they should look mint !!

 

gus likes this

 

mine are black black black and to be fair i like the look at night but there a pain in the arse driving sometimes

 

Noooo mate, its not a question of yay or nay, just gay!

it looks good on some cars like the st above just not on a mk3/mk4! especially after all the work you've put in making the inside look so oem.

Nothing worse than some one smudging their face up against it at a show to see in the back. Factory fresh with some decent wheels and your chosen colour and it will look the billy bollocks.

Hope its all going good with the car any way mate

Rob,

 

totally agree! had tints on mine when i brought the car, was an all round light tint but just ended up taking all the tints off! keep your s1 factory!

 

I wouldnt want to cover up all the work you've put into it tbh..

 

lol easy boys ,

i think the s1 is about as far from factory as possible now lol ,


ill ask the wife , after all she makes the decisions ,

but personally i do think a very light tint will suit the car ,


beef

 

Not for me.

 

I would say a subtle tint would suit the colour of the car nicely, but definately not dark tint

 

no tints

 

i think the very lightest of tints would look good, but anything to dark just wouldn't be good.

with all the work you have put in you want people to be able to see in.

for the little un you could always get


lol

 

I think a very dark tint so we can't see the driver, shame to spoil a nice car

 

cheeky cunt ¬¬




pmsl

 

Nothing darker than the series 2 green tint in my opinion. Maybe not green but no darker!!

 

I have ford focus with back window tints not to dark love them best thing i have done the police in my area are not keen on front tints at all
