Cool - they look good, nice job! We get all of our films from a company Darts Filmz they are on the web and they sell to the general public! The film is a professional film rather than that Max Power pants stuff, which we refuse to fit!!!


Ohh yea, i looked at using that stuff before, whats it like for shrinking on the curves??

After finding the cheap stuff cr@p, iv used Lluma films.


Mark.



yeh its fine, really easy to work with! There a nice easy company to deal with as well - which is always a bonus

can you get tint that looks black on the outside but is totally clear on the inside so you can actually see?


Unfortunatly, No! However, the best film to use from then would be 20% because it will let in quite a bit light but still give you the dark look!


how much would it cost me to get all of the glass done



Would it be that back three you want done?

Ok, we would have to discuss the limit of tint on the front but it depends on what year the car is - the older it is the more darker we can tint - unless its a show car if you get what i mean!!!! I would do all the windows for around £130 as you own a mini!!! ^_^ :xxx:

its faily easy to get out a rear screen.. the front is a diffrent matter.. the back screen can take a lot more"bend" than the front can. hence iv cracked both windscreens out of both minis but iv removed and fitted a rear screen fairly easily

Hi, if you need to take the back window out for any reason other than just to tint the window obviously tinting when out will be easier. However, a good window tinter will be able to tint with the glass in! If you are feeling brave and would like to have a go at it yourself i can email you a step by step guide and put you in touch with a comapny that sells professional window tints. If they work out a bit expensive i could send you what you need at the price i get it for cause i buy in bulk or if you want i could send you tints already shapped just for you to apply (i could provide the back three for about £50 plus P+P) cause i have all the windows out on my mini at the mo due to it having a make over!!!! Hope this will help you out!

thanks
