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
