Hi all

was thinkng about getting the beast tinted windows for xmas and will be over in the Gatwick area late November can any one recomend a good but cheap ish tinting service as they want £550 notes to tint on Jersey and thats just stupid money.

buy the tint and fit it yourself probably won't get any cheaper than that mate

Where was that and how long ago. Want mine doing but was quoted £250 minimum. Thought about doing them myself but its not my thing, will be full of air bubbles, won't meet the edges and will probably start peeling within a week.

If you take your time and use plenty of applicator fluid (ie washing up liquid and water) it's easy. Takes about 15 minutes a window and costs about £30 for a car.

Pity you did not put the off cuts on the o/s tyres to make it sit straight.

its not that hard to do, just be patient with it and do it indoors if possable and fit the film 2mm inside the glass edge and then seal with clear nail varnish to stop it peeling. have always done mine and never had a problem although i did my disco outside on a windy day DOH!!! :doh: and just road dust on the film. :doh:

That nail varnish is a great tip! Does it go on smoothly or all streaky?

if you mean the varnish it will depend on how much you apply i.e. use loads, goes on thick and lumpy - use lighty goes on great and hardly noticable
