Window Tinting - how much is factory % and where to go? (West Midlands)

[James Mk1]

I'll be looking to tint the rear 3 windows of my 2008 Fiesta ST, and firstly want to know - obviously it varies, how much % tinting is factory spec? As I want the OEM look.
Secondly, any recommendations as to where to get my window tinted, West Midlands area but willing to travel far enough for a good job

Thanks

I assume you mean the factory tint on the rears, if so Ford are normally pretty dark the one below limo tint.

I had my Focus ST windows done years ago at a place in Smethwick http://www.armourguardfilms.co.uk/
they are good and not that expensive

not the best picture but gives you an idea

That looks pretty much what I want, one step below limo would still be too dark imo. Can you remember what % that was?

These guys seem like a decent shout, are they reasonable on price?

I had my golf done with 35% tints and it looked the same as that Focus tbh.

Yeah I don't really know what % is equivalent to how dark the tint is, but I'd guess 20-35% is roughly where I want to be, and probably what most OEM tints are? I think anything > 60% is probably horrendously dark

Sorry mate I couldnt tell you as ive only used them for wheel refurb and detail. Best to try and contact them through facebook but be warned, they are soo busy they can miss some messages. Best to drop in if your round that way.

They really are perfectionists.

Cheers again for response, yeah might drop round and see what they're all about, actually need wheels refurbed too, how much did they charge you?

No probs. Depends on the size but i think for 18" and below its £199. Price will be increasing soon tho but if its booked in he will honour the price. Same day service too
