Tints

Has anyone tinting there own windows? I have seen the supposed none crease tints that you can get, has anyone tried them? Is it possible to do it well yourself if you spend the time? Or will it just look crap?
 
The Anti Crease tint are hard to do I tried it on a N16 and the rear quater windows were not that hard (3 door) but the rear window is a pain to do. at the garage they heat it up with a heat gun to get a mold of it and then take it to the inside. looks hard to be honest. the rear windows are easy to do though.

I would not bother on a N15 5 door its too hard to do yourself

I would though if it was a 3 door though the windows are pretty much flat.

Yeah I tinted the back three windows on mine myself, with one of the pre-cut kits off eBay.

The side windows were very easy with no creases at all (Just used soapy water and a credit card), the rear wi ndow came in three strips and was a little more difficult, I used a hairdrier to dry the water quicker and eventually got rid of all the bubbles/creases.

I'll get some photos on here tomorro.w

Yeah, I'd go for it. You can get the kits on eBay for around £30-£40.

I've seen a few 5 doors with tints on here and they look mint, some people have had a black vinyl made to cover the rear pillar too, which looks quite good.
 
tbh mate go to your local vinlyle place and see how much theyd charge . I paid £90 for my rear 3 windows ! done it within an hour only problem is thier has been welding done to my car before i got it and theres tiny metal specks stuck on the inside of the window!

Dont get a roll of it, its a waste of money and time to cut the window shapes!
 
The kits on eBay are pre-cut exactly to the shape of the windows and are fairly easy to do yourself.
