    White Sportback rear windows tinting

    I have a 2013 white A3 sportback (not sure if it is ibis or glacier white), I was thinking of tinting the rear windows with a medium shade. What would be your opinion of this, maybe I should leave the car as it is? Would anyone have any pics of a white sportback with rear tinted windows? Cheers

    Has anyone got or used the uniroyals rainsport 3 ? Have budget 'winda' tyres on the front of my TDI A4 and find them grand, but not as much wet grip as the uniroyal rainsport 2 that were on before.
