Phil

I live in Southampton too - and South Coast Tints (Ocean Village) did the tints on my GTI three weeks ago. I watched while they did it - lots of car of attention, they treated my 5 day old car with respect - and I got the impression they'd have done the same if I hadn't been there.

B pillar back cost me just under £180. Check out www.sctints.co.uk, they have some really good videos on the site showing what they do, and if you get an online quote there's a web discount.

The tints are guaranteed for as long as I have the car, and I could choose the level on tint on the day - I picked the light one which looks really good on my Diamond Black GTI. I'll take some pics tomorrow and get them posted.

Sorry, it was a baby girl, (jodi) weighing in at 9lb 1.5oz!!!, mother and baby are doing great cheers for asking.

I do agree looking at the pic below, cus the ammount of black already on the car ie side skirts, door pillar, a shade of black would look good, i dont wanna totally go black, i think a medium shade will be good  :smiley:
