+1 but its illegal now to tint (at all?) the front side or of course windscreen..... Before you had to allow a percentage of light through but they stopped that and changed it a few years ago didnt they?

I was still thinking of getting the rears done but it does look like half a job or something I think. I get pissed off getting pulled over for my sold as legal but in their eyes illegal (although they had to 'phone a friend' as they werent sure) pressed plates from Dubmeister so will give the tints a miss I think.

I do like them though.

I hate tints but think a blue tint would work well on a mk4 :cool:

They work very well at keeping the heat out and also keep the sun off even if you have the window down if you have a 5 door  :smiley:

And a bargain IMO. I got them for the Audi and they are perfect for keeping the light out for my daughter  :cool:

They are better suited for 5 door cars really as the window remains tinted with the window dropped down.

Interesting as my young daughter would be the main reason for me considering light tints on my wagon.

Do the screens roll up compactly when unused?

Are they a perfect fit as stated on their website?

They dont roll up. They sit inside the window frame so even when the window is down the blind remains covering the opening  :smiley:  they are perforated too to allow air through

Ask any one at Volksfest a few years back how well they worked. The back of my car was the coolest place on the site
