| Want the windows tinted on the back of the Daddy Bus. I have never been down this road before. I am told that film is ok. I am also told it is pants and not to put it over a heated rear window. I did get a quote on getting the glass popped out and replaced with smoked glass. But I cant spent as much on the glass as I did on the bus and as usual Mrs Monty has me on a budget, ANY IDEAS ? | |

| i done my old golf with a freind, its pretty difficult, but depends on the window, sides are pretty easy cos they're flat, the back is a bit more tricky, just make sure you take the windows out, buy a massive squeegee cos the ones they give you are crap. and buy a little bit lighter than what you think you need, cos it'll look loads darker when all the tinted windows are in the car. the way i got round my back window last time was to do it in 3 strips, and make sure the joins are on the heated window strips . i also blew a tiny bit of laquer around the edges aswell, this stops air getting under the film and making it peel. hope this helps. | |

| Anyone got a ballpark figure for what you'd pay professionally just for the sides/rear tinting ? | |

Prob a bit pricey for me at the mo. Got to get the suspension and remap paid for 1st. Saying all this Im gonna make a note of the number.. always fancied a light tint on the passenger/drivers window and dark(er) tints in the rears. Not LIMO tho | |
