i got a quote if all the windows were out and he sed he would do it ?100, so i recon being as they are so easy to take out try doing that.

I just done my front ones...........what a biatch.

If it looks shite in the light on the car I gonna shell out, there's nothing like a professional job on them!

P.S. where is that bloke that does em for ?100 quid and give us feedback on his work from your windows. Ta.

I think it cost ?165 for the windows tinted on the GSi, but that was with a small discount so ?180 seems quite reasonable to me. The place we had ours done has now closed down though - and the drivers quarter window got smashed the other week :( so now it's got an odd window.

?125 down here, for any small 3 door hatchback, ie: Nova, Corsa Astra, MG ZR, 206, 106 etc etc you get the idea.

It's a bad idea to weld with the windows still in!!!! I got little blemishes all over the insides of my windows. Film hasn't taken to that very nicely!

Also does anyone know where to get it at a kinda trade price cos its a rip off. Especially when I have to do it on some more windows cos mine have splatters all over!

I`m charging ?115 for both sides and rear screen:

thats:

?45 for 3 rolls of tint
?50 for time and effort doing sides
?20 for doing rear screen.

teks about 4-5 hours to do.

if thats any good to anyone, pm me, only thing is i`m in scarborough but will travel at extra cost for fuel.

i was talkin to cooper nova the other night on msn and he told me not to attempt the rear because he says it curves in two different ways

easyist way is to cut the film into 3 strips and slightly overlap them
