Can anyone recommend a place to tint windows?

I have just bought a new alpine white 1 Series Coupe and want the windows tinted.

Any recommendations? I am based in Wokingham.

Also, how much should I be paying for the rear screen and two rear windows?

hehe

Sorry. I can't stick cars that have tints where the gradient of tint is not harmonious along the entire side of the car. Makes them look like a van. However as it's illegal to go above a certain tint on the front windows its inevitable if you want tints at all.

I totally agree, do you know if companies will tint the front windows?

I probably wouldn't end up having it done because of the inevitable hassle from police but would consider it.

The only car I ever had tinted was my Bora - it had a light tint all along the side and a darker tint on the rear screen (pic in profile). I think it looked well but it was 8 years ago and I was younger (chavvier) then! Not sure if the law has changed with regards to tints on the front or if its simply more enforced these days. Was done by a very good bloke from the ukmkivs.net forum called 'tinter' and he was Leicester or Nottingham way, as I recall. Did an excellent job.
