window tints, help please

[NATHAN182]

yes i already know about 90% of you guys on here are strongly against window tints, however i like them :rasp:
im getting them done soon but cant decide on what to get (182 arctic). don't want the limo black van look and am fully aware touching the front windows is illegal.
please suggest which combo you would pick - either 1,2 ,3 or 4 and please no one saying no tints at all cos Ive heard it before ha ha.
1. light tints all round (5 windows)
2. light tints on 4 sides and medium tint on rear
3. light tints on 2 front and medium tint on rear 3
4. light tint on back 3

any other suggestions please comment and if anyone has any picks of tints on an arctic then please post so i can see how good or bad they look

cheers

sorry to whoever moved this thread

I'd go with number 2 mate...

Parking in the dark is a pain in the arse with dark tints!! lol...

Probably really light on the front and then smoked tint at the back,

 

[NATHAN182]

not bothered about the parking mate, so light on 2 fronts and limo on 3 backs?

 

[NATHAN182]

need some pics for comparison

 

[j45xxx]

I wouldn't go completley limo on the back....just do it so theres not a HUGE difference between the back and front...I wouldn't do the front windscreen though. Just do the rear screen the same as the back windows

 

[Struggler]

id say 1!

keeping it even all the way around will keep it looking standard!!
(unless you have some reason that you want the rear screen slightly darker)

 

[Weo]

4 will look the best by far,
bear in mind you wont be able to deal your Drugz though :rasp:

 

[Harpham]

Id say very light tints all round, so that everything is equal.

I wouldnt go too dark, as it'll ruin the look of the car imo.

 

[NATHAN182]

really need some pics if anyone has a clio with tints?

 

[NATHAN182]

so far im either thinking light on all 5 or limo back 3 AND light on front 2

 

[Jekyll]

number 1 ftw. no to limo black.... it will look like a van lol

 

[one in a million]

i havee limo tints on the back 3 windows, and regret having them dark, go with a light smoke all round , looks smart but not chavvy

 

[NATHAN182]

ok ive made my mind! cheers guys im getting light tints allround, think i would have gone limo if my 182 was a BG tho.
ill post a pic when its done:cheers:

 

[one in a million]

good choice, make sure you inform me, i might get mine changed to light smoke to

 

[NATHAN182]

yeah mate, ill let ya know, could you post a pic of yours for comparison? should have mine done this week or next. been quoted £110 for all five by a reputable company, this seem decent? think i paid £90 last time for back 3

 

[Matt e]

how mine used to look

 

[NATHAN182]

yeah they are too dark i take it you got them removed?

 

[chapperzuk]

I would say 3 or 4 to be honest. I had limo black tints on my last clio. They were to dark really. I will probably get much lighter tints just on the back 3 windows for my new car. Might get the front 2 windows very slightly tinted, but not sure yet.

 

[Nato_Nev]

a job i did, light tints all round

 

[NATHAN182]

cheers Nev, think thats just won me over, here how my car looks atm

 

[NATHAN182]

 

[NATHAN182]

[kyle_clio]

im going for a limo black on all back three on my silver clio. but i am aware there have been alot of complaints about them so i am going to try them out and if i dont like them get a light smoke tint on them.

[Jake007g]

I've got a black 1.2, with limo tints on the rear 3. It is mainly for privacy reasons ;P But I think black cars can pull off limo tints better than any other colour...

 

[kyle_clio]

post some pics when there done mate

no bother mate. cheers

it just looks like a van,

i got limo tints on my rear 3 when i was a little chav, they look terrible so i ripped them all off

and why when everyone says how bad its going to look, and how bad it looks in various pictures,
do people still insist on going for limo black tints!?

because its there car

 

[Struggler]

because its there car

That almost goes along with the excuse "because i want to be different"

people are too blinkered by their awful (chavy) taste to listen to good advice!!

well enjoy driving your van y0

You on a mission or something today Bartlet?

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Having the tints removed from mine was one of the best things I did.

 

[Jake007g]

Tints aren't chavvy! They are just an acquired taste! People's opinions should be respected to be honest, you either like tints or you don't!

 

[eddie5461]

i have limo black on rear 3, did have light smoke on the front 2, light smoke has come off since the photo due to being pulled by cops with it only letting 29% light through. I still like the limo black, had no problems parking etc...

 

[NATHAN182]

at the end of the day get what you want, i like tints but do agree limo tints lol abit silly as you cant by law limo tint the front (then i would look cool)
im going for light tints all round as then they should all match well and not look too dark to get puled by the law! thats my theory anyway.
ill post my pics on friday

 

[NATHAN182]

car dropped off to get tinted! woop woop!

 

[Struggler]

You on a mission or something today Bartlet?

im always on a mission!! trying to stop people wasting money on chavtastic mods!!

 

[NATHAN182]

[Struggler]
