E30 Zone

i have been concidering tinting the windows on my touring but would like some opinions on it

I say no.
I'd expect a 50:50 response...

the car is diamond black i like the mean look and thought maybe with the widows done it would look good has anyone got there windows done??

I've got mine done, but only because the rear pop outs i purchased off another zoner came with the front windows and rear glass which had already been tinted.

I do like them though and they keep the sun off the leather so it dont get so hot in the summer.

Also makes the car more secure as potential scummers cant see whats inside and the glass takes longer to smash though

Hi m8 has a black touring with black windows l
all round likes nice iam going to do just the rear windows on mine which is silver

I would recommend around a 20% film on the rear 3 (allows 20% of light through) - so this would be classed as a dark smoke. On the rear doors i would recommend a 35% tint, and then keep your fronts the standard factory green tint, or if you want to try your luck with the law, go for a 70% tint on top of your factory tint which will take it about 10% over the legal requirements. Tinting your car in this way doesn't totally cut the back off from the front, but fades it front to back instead.

Hope this helps,
Chris

Thats exactly how i have done every car i used to tint.

I have always gone for the "midnight" tint, it's the shade before "limousine black" and the firm i use (autoshades) always refuse to give a receipt as it's illegal, but pure sex, in my opinion of course.

Tints are council, end...

^ In your opinion of course

No, these are the 'rules'

Seconded!!!
The rules are written.

1. Tints are council


See it's there for all to see

the Halfords toptint is epic dez,

it will deffo start a new trend in the chromie plastic engined 23valve club

Oi what's with the plastic sh1t. Your starting to sound like Ravtard

I reckon Steve is planning an anchor conversion on the quiet, you might want to hang onto those tints afterall!

Steve loves a big heavy Donk Dan. I fairness his 2.7 was a nice motor. Even if it was from the first world war.

theres nothing wrong with council. id say tint away. the darker the better as the more cyclists you run over at junctions the better.

Spotted on my road earlier -



Council tints complete with bubbles/creases, welded up council rep rimz, council colour coded door, council arch damage

F*/ck me its not looking good

so you're saying the new range rover sports and m3 / m5 bmw look council...? interesting

i think a light tint is quite nice, what in my opinion is council is half tints ie. the rear only and/or very dark tint.

this is a 20% tint on my sport...is this council??

Yes, but compared to the two tone wrongness, positively tasteful !

A finer collection of chav taxi's you'll not find.

I'm sure some E30's come with a green tint from factory? In fact I think my cab has that along with the dark green strip at the top.

All facelift UK spec cars come with a tasteful green tint as standard. In fairness to most of the owners of 'tinted turds' , I understand why they have done it , I wouldn't want to be seen in them either !

well, everyone has their own opinion i suppose

toptints wrote:well, everyone has their own opinion i suppose

Yes they do. It's as above on here a 50/50 split.

Those who like bling'd up tat, and the rest of us.

yes yes, d'ya get me dan... brrrrutt brrrrutt. each to their own.

Just because you make money tinting turds does not make it tasteful or anything other than council. But congratulations on taking money off sad peasants !

Mate, do you hear us saying your cars look crap un-tinted ? NO. as it was said, everyone has their own tastes and opinions. Most of my customers have their cars tinted for sun protection for their kids, or to keep the things they are carrying in the back out of sight, so it's not always because some guy is having a mid life crisis and is trying to look cool My personal taste is an extremely light tint to cut the heat and save the cars interior from UV. I'm sort of with you about the dislike of dark tints on a car, but some people just need it for varying reasons. So all the talk of tinted turds is a little un-fair i think.

It would be a bit daft to say something like that

The main reason bruvs tint E30's is because they think it looks cool, which it doesnt
I tinted the back windows on my E34 to keep the heat/sun out, not because I want it to look good, infact I think it looks shite, but I dont care about the car, its just a workhorse. If I wanted to do it tastefully id get some rear blinds
