ive just had a quote of £130 to get all my windows tinted and the front windows he will take out and bake the tint onto the windows .. the tints come with a 15 year guarantee against fading he will also pick up my car leave his van at my house then drop my car back ..

i dont really know prices of tints so i thought id ask the people in the know haha

to me it seems like a fair price for all the work involved but like i said i have no clue what do you guys/girls think

baking them just means that the tints dont take 3 days to dry before you can use the window and he can feather it in better when hes dry.. thats what he said when i asked him :P

baking them is just basically running the heat gun over them so that they cure. price is very reasonable. usually 80 for the back 3 and 20 quid a front side

Dont pay any attention to the warranty as it only covers fading and not the fitting. Who the hell is going to measure there tints in 15 years with a light tester and go and complain it has dropped 10%. the bloke probably won't even be there then. The price is good tho, but doing the fronts is a waste of time

ALL OUR WORK COMES WITH A LIFE TIME GUARANTEE, THIS COVERS :

AGAINST LIFTING OR PEALING OF THE FILM FROM THE GLASS.

AIR BUBBLES OR DIRT IN THE FILM.

FADING OF THE FILM.

DAMAGE TO YOUR CAR IN OR OUT.

just read their website seems you get more than just fading

ok so does seem to be a decent cover. i think the fronts are too much hassle if you get stopped by vosa or picky cops
