Window Tinting

[chris328i]

I'm looking at getting the rear doors and boot area tinted on my E91. Not sure how dark to go, I'd like darker than factory tints but not completely black, I'm thinking somewhere between 15% - 20%. Can anyone offer any advice here?

Anyone got any recommendations for where to go in the Berkshire area, or how much I should expect to pay?

Thanks for any help.

Limo black is around 5% and is so dark you cant see where your reversing at night. Factory Tints are around 30% so if you can get a 15 to 20% tint, it should be about right for what you want.

Have a read of this before you do it, might save you money in the long run ;-)

Thanks Bruce, you've confirmed pretty much what I thought. I'm thinking 15% is what I should go for.

Thanks also Geoff, however the law only covers windscreen and front doors. Rear of the car can be as dark as you like.
