0% Tint
« on: 13 November 2019, 10:37 »
Can this be spec'd (gti) and has anyone seen one? I have a thing about white cars with black window trims, with no tint. Standard spec is 65% but on the likes for DTD it looks like you can untick it that no cost option.

Thanks.

Like this below? Imagine it would be something you might be able to sort with a dealer.

Will look odd though a GTI with no tints.

ha ha ha, i know... it very nearly bought an S7 a few years back and at the time I noticed they did a limited edition one over in europe that had the black pack but without tints and it looked hardcore.

Perhaps less so on a 5 door family hatch!!!

I am interested in this thread as awaiting order confirmation at present. I am not a big fan of tints so certainly do not want 90%  - I either want 65% (probably as it is the default?) or 0% (possibly) if there is a 0% option?  Also how so I select "be notified of replies to this thread" (or similar) bit?

cheers

Don’t windows have a little tint to stop eye strain?

There is a natural green tint in all automotive glass, the tint on the rear windows is in the glass not added on top like a film. It is designed to stop damage to interior from the UV light.

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you want tints? 

It's a massive help when driving at night, especially on motorways I feel.

I’m surprised they don’t offer this as an option for those that don’t want to have tinted glazing BUT I agree everyone wants to add to ya if they don’t already so is certainly go with the factory default of 65%.

I’m sure it would also make it a touch more difficult to sell on as it’s one of the ‘standard’ options on nearly all the cars up for sale.

I wouldn't go anywhere near a car with 0% tints if I was looking on a forecourt. Would make you think something was wrong with the car.
