I use Corel Draw  http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?c=Content_C1&cid=1152796555406&lc=en&pagename=CorelCom%2FLayout  It has many many effects you can apply to pictures. The one i use for number plates is called "swirl" You simply select the area you want to change and it applys that effect to it.

Or try here:  http://www.download.com/CorelDRAW-Graphics-Suite/3000-2191_4-10501731.html?tag=lst-0-1

Its a 15 day free trial, but www.serialdevil.com  is a brilliant place to get passwords and serials! nudge nudge say no more!

Hi there, new to this so aplologies if any errors.  I have just ordered a 3 door GTi from VW dealer in Solid black with tinted rear windows.  Everybody seams to go for diamond black, £365 option.  Is it worth it?  Also, do you think the rear tinted windows look best?  Many thanks, nice car!

I have diamond black and as others have said on this forum, it looks good when clean, but its a b!tch to keep clean.

rear tints are good, esp for security, I would get them, as I paid £400 to have mine done at a third party company after I brought the car, although that did include the front windows, which they wont do at the factory.

I have gone for the factory tints.  I spoke to the dealer about getting them done afterwards and he showed me a few examples.  The side windows looked fine, but the rears didnt look right as they cant get it perfect round the strips in the heated glass.  The factory tints are only £175 and the glass is actually tinted, rather than putting a film over plain glass.

Apologies and all that, but they're too dark - they make a nice car look like a van, imo.
