round my way I think its around 125 quid to get all windows tinted IIRC thats in London, so i'd say 100 - 125 for the back only is what I'd expect.

Tints are easy to fit, especially to the rear sides.

Tailgate glass has a slight annoying curve to it, so is a harder job though.

i took the glass out and then when putting the rubbers back on that messed it up as it peeled the edges up and creased all the film up!! :@
i managed to do one rear side window but didnt bother with the other one but i could do it if i took my time again
rear window just seems impossible though!
how do the "professional" tints work? do they still use a film, is it just a case of experience?

Once you fitted the tints and they've dried a bit, go round the edges with nail varnish to seal them and stop them peeling up ;)

Professionals use tinting film, pretty much the same stuff as you can buy in the shops.

I tinted the rears in my last nova went ok until i tried putting them back like said earlier they can peel up far too easily :(
