johnH Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 they more than likely ask you when you arrive. i got my focus's rears done for £140...i beleive its dark smoke aka 20% light through it all depends on what you like: Limo: stating the obvious, cant see in and difficult to see out at night. dark smoke: allows 20% light light smoke: allows more than 20% light here some piccys of my car: http://www.peugeotforums.com/forums/members/john_h-78182/albums/john_h-new-focus-7/ for a selection of tints please see: http://northeastwindowtinting.co.uk/Tintselection.aspx for actual piccys of other cars and what they look like: http://northeastwindowtinting.co.uk/sitemap.aspx hope this helps you.

ross1985 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 great thanks for the information, i have put in to have the fronts done too but im now thinking maybe i will just have the backs done, what do you think both or just the backs, im looking for a medium on the backs, im not looking at the limo as i dont want it that dark and dont want to struggle seeing out the back. john the link to your car pics didnt work but the others did. thanks.

johnH Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 apologies, i wasnt aware that you needed to register to view them... ill get some on photobucket. also a point to note, if you were to get your fronts done, you will have to make sure they allow 70% of light through as the police have an eppi fit if not.

ross1985 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 yeah i had a look at some posts on here about the fronts, i think i might just go for the backs not sure if the fronts would make it look any better then just having the backs done. thanks for taking the time to sort some pics out for me.

iNath Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I believe the front are slightly tinted from the factory - any more and you could push it over legal limit so I'd leave it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross1985 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 yeah thought they were slightly tinted already, ok i will just have to backs done, i did tell them i would probably have the fronts done too but i will just say i changed my mind when i get there. so if i want the medium tint for the backs i just ask for dark smoke which allows 20% light ?
