the do it yourself ones are a real hastle, I got quoted about Â£110 for my whole car to be tinted professionaly which isnt bad, Ive done a few self tints, theyre ok but the results are never pro, and the back window is a proper pain in the arse to get in place without loads of bubbles and creases getting in. The precut ones are pretty expensive, if you wanna try yourself Id go for the rolls which are like Â£10 and have a go with that, cutting its pretty easy so long as your knife is sharp.

The quote i got in london was Â£200. If you can get it for Â£110 thats a BARGIN!!

i spent 10 pounds on some tint film.
it was good quality stuff, just bloody hard to put on.

i screwed mine up and gave in after about 2 hours.

110 isn't bad for the whole car.
