Lol that made me laugh. I'll update the polo at DubDayz Summer Fest this weekend, she'll be all clean. Really looking forward to it.

I'm gonna do the rear window 50% tint, & sides 20%ish. Nothing silly, just enough to look subtle.

Your motor would look good with a nice light (20-30%) tint.

Will probably colour code my door handles when I take the rub strips off (job for next summer!), as some filler has been used on the doors & will need a smooth & blow over at a paint shop, so will see what else I can include paintwise between now & then.

I'm in the same thought as you & Tim, prefer the 8V bumper, something a bit more 'retro' style in a way. 16V are nice, just been done a lot. Darker colours seem to carry the 8V bumpers better too?!

50% tint? That ain't so subtle mate lol. If you want subtle don't go any more than 30-35%

Got some 50% on rear at mo, toying with going 20-30 all round, or stick with 50 on rear! Got a mates-rates deal of Â£100 to do all the windows, just got to make my mind up.

So you've got 50% on just the rear window at the moment?

I like tints, but i'm not sure their for me. but you never know i may end up with some light tints. I'm currentlky shopping for a plate ending DUB, loads around. just need to get my money sorted.

Yep, had a go at tinting!

Wasn't too bad either, i've seen worse, alot worse! Have a look VVV

Would remove it for the pro to do the better job!

Prob go for 30 all round, what do you reckon?

Looks alright to me

My mate got pulled alot for his tints, Limo's in the rear (not a problem) but had Dark's in the front two which he always got pulled for. in the end he just removed them. Think it looks better, can see his cage more. the front two windows only let through 17% light. Law is 70% light. Lol I've seen that Light projection machine the police use more times.

Seriously loving this car. Hopefully mine will look like this when I get some money

Thanks mate. Not really done that much to her. Just little things.

I'm sorry but I hate DIY tints!! 30 all round by a pro sounds decent. Although like previously mentioned, anything on the front is illegal.

Evening Tim, lol. Yeah my mate got fed up in the end and just removed them all. Don't think they'll suit my polo.

Have you had a play around in photoshop? It's a really easy to get it looking realistic so you can have a decent insight as to what it will look like.
