To tint or not??

[dg-1984]

I have a silver 2007 S3, changed the rear lights to my09 fitted 15mm rear spacers and 10mm on the front.
De-wipered the rear and now thinking of getting light tints on the rear 3 windows, think would just get light tints as too dark might not suit as much.

What do you think, tint or just leave it as is?

I went for the blinds over tints

I've been debating this since I got the car! I've decided to leave mine and go for the clean look! I decided on 30% tint and then backed out when it came to book!

 

[dg-1984]

I like the clean look but just wonder if the light tints on the silver would make it stand out a little.
Is 30% the lowest tint?

I think that on a silver car a lighter tint would be better than a dark one.
My Phantom Black A3 can easily support a darker tint and so I went for the one that was the closest match for factory-fitted tints.
On the overall question of tints or no tints I think that tints can transform the look of a car, I'm chuffed with the results of getting mine done.

I think that a light 30%+- would look good on yours. Just got my phantom black A3 tinted with 15% and Im very happy with the results

 

[dg-1984]

Is 30% not more a medium tint and then you have 35% 50% and 70%.

It is but the higher percentages are barely visible other than the view through the glass being slightly dimmer, so if thats something that you are going for then you should go 30+´.

to give you an idea... similar colour A3... I went with the 20% from http://www.darewraps.uk.

 

[dg-1984]

Thanks for the pic, for me I am wanting lighter definitely.

 

[poopot]

Have to admit they came out darker than I thought they would. If i did it again would go for the 35% at the most.

 

[Sherv]

Defo tint! First thing I did when I got my A3. Looks way better!

Personally I'd go medium tint. Had them done on a silver ep3 civic (different car I know) suites the colour great!

Defo tint, as stated previously it changes the look of the car. I went for 35% tint all round on mine, looks great, and also helps when it's really sunny lol

And headlights blinding you from cars behind, any excuse to justify it

 

[NFox]

I am with the majority on a light tint against silver

Seriously consider Lee's privacy shades / blinds .

With open window acts as fly screen and tea leaf eyes can't see in .

Cheaper , easily removable and resellable .

Hi, FWIW I had my A3 windows tinted today to 20%. I thought it may have been too dark but I'm very pleased with it, looks great against the Audi Phantom Black...

Do it!

Medium on the back.
Light in the front.

Easy to see out of night and day, but great from the outside

Look nice. Is it allowed to tint front windows in the UK?

 

[Matt268uk]

Yep, you can tint the front but only to a certain %age. They have to let a certain amount of light through.

I'm in Denmark. Here tinting the front is not allowed, but the rules say it must have at least 70% of light through.
