That was me.

I say do it, it makes the car look a little meaner I reckon. However if you do go ahead, I'd go for maximum of 20% on the rears which is the factory tint used on cars these days. Any darker will not look as good imo.

Mine have been done, front and rear, though not by me.

The rears are really dark and actually it does look really good, kinda sets off a red/black colour scheme and they also have the added benefit of stopping cars dazzling you at night.
Make sure they're all fitted properly though if you go for it as badly applied tints look awful!.

IMHO it makes the car look crap

No it doesn't on both counts. There are many ordinary cars that come with "privacy glass" these days so does that make them a chav? No.

Hey there's nothing wrong with red and black Dennis the Menace and all that but the windows are already tinted but as has been said each to there own and my car is hardly standard after all.

LOL

Just to add my opinion....... (tdown)

These cars are rare and shouldn't be molested....... Be prepared to pick it off again if you ever want to sell it!

Couldn't agree more.

Sorry Ross, but I'm a big believer in things having to have a function. If you live in Dubai, or you're ultra famous, or are sitting in the back of a Bentley, Rolls, Maybach etc then tints on you windows I have no problem with.

On the rear windows of a the worlds most compelling hot hatch 'shopping trolley'; nope.

Having recently removed the tints I can now appricate how much better the Trophy looks without them. I think it suits it perfectly and I notice I get more attention too!

I admit I was wrong and have seen the light :lol: :oops: =P~
