ben already has a sports bucket seat with neck support!!, you may be able to see it in the photo below, isofix is very good, but boy oh boy its expensive, but yes the price to pay for your childs safety isnt an issue.
Ben thinks the S mode on the dsg means SMILE MODE  :laugh:, cus daddy drives fast!, mummys to scared to put it in S MODE!

Ok, I've been out to take some pics:

This is before (and clean!)


This is after (tinted but very dirty)!








As you can see, the light tint is very subtle from some angles, but looks quite dark from others - and particularly in dull whether. I like it because it's not 'in yer face' and doesn't make much difference from inside - looking back, it's obviously a more sophisticated look, but doesn't affect clarity of vision, even at night.

Hope this helps!

Aaaahhhh,

Just worked it out Phil!

You are getting the tints so that people cannot see the kiddies seat and will still park next to you so that you still feel loved :evil:

mafri - your tints look a very similar shade to the factory options, nice choice!  :cool:
