As mentioned above the fronts are illegal and thats all thats stopping me getting tints.
If I could get the fronts done without the hassle I would. I think just the back 3 windows on mine would make it look van-like. Suits darker cars better I think.

If I hadn't tried I wouldn't have known I was useless at tinting!

You never know until you try! Altho' I know what you mean.
I had a Land Rover V8 a few years back & I blew the head gaskets on it. My mate, a landy mechanic, parked it in his workshop & told me to fix it myself! (no mechanical experience!). From then on everything on that motor was fixed by me, learnt a lot. (rebuilt 2 V8's since then!)
So I now always have a punt at these things! Quite looking forward to stripping out the suspension to put coilies on when I get them!
I'm a very hands on guy. I work as a HGV mechanic. Nothing better then getting stuck in. Main reas i prefer old cars. All new stuff is electrical damn everything.
the clear indicators and repeaters look lovely, i had been questionning whether to do this myself and after seeing yours i think i will, are they hard to replace or relatively simple?

The indicators are really easy. Not sure about the side repeaters, haven't done them myself, can't imagine they'd be very difficult tho..
Both of the indicators are a peice of p*** to swap over. To change the front indicators, open the bonnet, look above the indicators there is a single bolt holding it on which can be taken off using a socket set. Then when that is out, simply slide the indicator forward (towards you) and it will slide out of 2 clips on the side of the car. Reverse the process to put the new ones in.
To change the side indicators, just push the indicator to the side and it will pop out, swap over for the new one and then push back to the side and release. All sorted
