TINTS

Hi all
Advice please, tints look good so wondered if it's worth having done locally ?, you see boy racers with tints done badly so wondered if it's worth it?
Your thoughts please and any reccomendations

England 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Auto Baltic Blue

I had aftermarket tints on one of my other Freelanders and they looked ok except you can see the antena wires in the side windows .
Someone on here had them done in Burton and he said the results were good. Gone, 2007 TD4 SE Auto Baltic blue, clear side repeaters, full sized alloy spare.

I had mine done aftermarket. They don't look as good as factory fitted, but I was really happy with the result.
Spend a bit of time researching those in your area (review sites etc) and don't head straight for the cheapest.

£170 sounds reasonable think I paid about £250 but they did a good job. Gone, 2007 TD4 SE Auto Baltic blue, clear side repeaters, full sized alloy spare.

I think part of it is the quality of the film used, one thing to watch out for is to get a film That does[b]Not contain foil as that would interfere with radio reception when used on side windows.[/b] Gone, 2007 TD4 SE Auto Baltic blue, clear side repeaters, full sized alloy spare.

United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Santorini Black

I had mine done with 23% tints (pretty dark), which is about what the factory tint is. It cost me £235 for all the back windows. They made a really good job of it & I am really pleased. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!
