I like it, but has to be subtle, like you say a light tint! :afro:

Tints are long gone like the days of max power!

Only nobs who have them now are Corsa racer boys & women in range rovers.

This.  :grin:

Because you obviously weren't going to tint your front windows now, were you?

chavy reputation but can look good if tinted all round, but like pressed plates with german font, its only a matter of time before you get pulled!

as above, just do the backs and it looks odd!

looks ok on big executive cars, not a fan on small cars

Personally I think it works on dark coloured cars with a dark theme all round. Otherwise I'm not a fan.

Mine has a light tint. Suits the car and is also practical in the summer.

Mine are legal at below 30%.

I always liked tints, never had a car with them though, although the audi will be getting a factory'ish looking tint eventually.

Always like Ian Chan's old mk3 which had rear tints..

I like light tints. Got a mate who does it as part of his job if youre interested too.

My old mk3 had very dark rears, was a bit too much for me but I could never be arsed to pick it all off. :grin:
