German S2 option - green tint. Brown tint looks cool though with a fornts in green - they look darker.

Brown tint does look smart, but keep it consistant. replace all the glass with brown tint!

I like the brown on the back - the rears look darker, like a lot of cars out the factory these days.

Are you sure? I've never seen an S2 with opening rear quarters here in Germany. Sounds more like it could have been an option for the italian or spanish market.

I was told.. green tint, european RST's.

brown one's dont look right.. no one likes mis match of glass.

Green are fairly rare, but available for the right money

People are talking about the factory tint in the glass not Chav Power tints.

The S1 came from the factory with a bronze tint and the S2 came with a green tint

It's difficult to tell from them apart from the last one which is side on, but I think that looks smart. Like you say it's different, but in a good way I think.

The last one you can really see the difference between the bronze tints on the side and the green tinted windscreen.

The opening Quarter glass on the S2 was an option from new.

I think it was around £200 back in them days which is why not many of them had the opening rear quarters.

The green tint glass is still available from Ford.
