The Ford privacy glass tint is perfect mate. It looks bang on without going over the top.

I was exactly the same mate, could not decide! In the end went for 80% in the end and am really happy. When down at road level there is still a bit of depth with 80% rather than just the mirror you get with limo, the guy who fitted the tints also does quite a bit for Ford (when people want after market ones) and I have to say it is a near perfect match. Everybody has different preferences on this though, so you just gotta go with what you like!

Cheers Dan I think they are just comparing the tint they do to the factory one

Just didn't want it to look to chavy thanks for the curve ball Rob

Factory I'd say. I like Chris' 80% on his but he has a lot of black on his car so it goes well.
