So i can have that better look to my car, when i say tinted i dont mean full on black.... 35% tints are perfect, or something along the lines of that...

oh right ok  :lipsrsealed:

you could do them yourself. look on ebay and they do tints already cut to the shap of your window. all you have to do is lay them on.

Get someone to do it for you. I tinted our first mk3 myself but the rear screen is a pig as it curves both ways. I ended up ripping it all off and getting it done by the pros. I paid £130 for the whole car - medium rears and very light (still illegal mind) on the front. Looked good and for us it kept the car a bit cooler when our daughter was a baby.

The new mk3 already has the rears done (pretty dark). I think it looks good personally.

I only paid £30 to have my rear window tinted, sides were already done when brought it but badly! Fronts were removed instantly rears are going when i can afford to get them redone

The Mk3 can look brilliant with tints. But I would think it only suits those in a dark colour. I got mine done for £130 in East London and would recommend it personally. If you haven't fitted them before, I would strongly recommend that you get it done by a professional. I have a lifetime guarantee on mine as an added bonus.

Window tinting does not suit the Mark 3 IMO and attracts the wrong kind of attention really. Very Chavvy and should be restricted to Corsa's and Saxo's  :grin:

Each to own and all that. Never knew it cost that much to do. Must be like 95% profit  :grin:

I personally like to show off my stereo to thieves  :laugh:

Yeah I thinks it's chavvy and to be honest if I'm spending the time and money making my car look good. I want to be seen in it.
Plus that pic just posted of that blue mk3 with rear tints don't look good  :sick:
