90% tints
« on: 06 July 2017, 20:17 »
I have ordered a new GTi on a cheapish lease. Car will be Indium Grey, wondering if the 90% tints are needed or just keep standard. Haven't really seen the difference in real life.

Current car is a Mk 7 GTD which only had one level of tint as standard, is it nearer the 90% or the new model standard tint ?

I think they're worth it. Especially on a 3 door. There's plenty of pictures on this forum of Golf's with the new tint.

Can make a 3 door look like a van depending on the colour of the car.

  I have to agree with you on this one.  I used to have a Type-R with dark 90% tints and it most definitely looked like a van especially since the car was also black and 3 door.

90% on mine, I know it's not a Indium grey but it gives you a feel for the colour contrast.
