why not just call your local dealer to get a price??  :undecided: :huh:

also film tint leaves a white line around the window. so would need to be taken out to tint.

oh , hang on let me see, oh yeah here goes

like has been said horrid white line around edge which cannot get round unless rear screen is physically removed, personally, id buy a tinted glass rear screen and tint the rest.




fronts had carbon tint fitted aswell or uv light resistant film, legal and give it a kind of mirror'd look

the reason why its there is because if you look closely at the standard windscreen, it has the dimple or dotted edge to it, cover it in film makes it look white, and you cant get round it. Replace the glass with proper Tinted glass to get best results.
