Get your tints out for the lads

[wuta3]

Word up people.

I'm thinking of ordering some tint off fleabay and having a go. My car is black and looks a bit daft with such clear glass. Can you post your pics of your tints and what % they are?

10 internet points for anyone who posts.

Bonus points for black 3 doors.

I get confused with the terms, would that make them 15% (0% being Limo)
Im thinking 35% given I have a dark interior, and I don't want it to be too OTT

Giving this a go: Audi A3 3-door 2003 to present PRE CUT WINDOW TINT KIT | eBay - if they actually deliver SunTek and the cut is good, might be cost effective. Or buy cheap buy twice, who knows.

Don't forget the rules - you wouldn't want the shame of having to remove them at the roadside.....
Most modern cars won't take any extra tint on front windows and screen. They're maximum from the factory.

Only doing the rears. Also, couldn't give a **** about what anyone else thinks. My shame level is 0% for most things.

Mine are the level down from limo so I guess 20%, thought it was the other way around?

Yea it goes 5% limo, 20% dark smoke etc. Yours look good btw, but if I think mine are too light it is on £30 to see what it's like for a bit at 35%

Good for you!

Heres mine, they're not limo, probably about 15-20% maybe id like them darker though lol!

 

[Ironborn]

15 percent on a really sunny day. Most days they look like limo. Not the best pics,

The % is how much light it lets in

 

[manor13]

Black cars with limo tint looks like an a3 van, needs to be lighter to pull it off

Research what the factory tint is and go for that.

Anything limo looks like a drug dealer owns it

Yea im trying to avoid the drug dealer look, I already get pulled over for no good reason as it is. I think 35% will be just right, enough to balance the car but not enough to look like I have 20 bin bags of bud on the back seat.

I had limo tints all round on my X5 and never had a problem with the old bill.

Limo rear, 75on sides and one above legal on front.

Looks good Jonathaan, starting to doubt my 35% choice now Looking like a dealer might be worth it. Very vadaresque
