Fro one thing they do the rear window on the new Clios in one piece! Even Pentagon dont do this. Also, the tints are just always consistently excellent quality. And they look charcoal rather than bluey or greeny like most others.

 

[ClioJohn]

sorry forgot to reply

magma are brilliant guys, 200 quid and they do a fantastic job. I assumed all places done the back window with one piece, but after getting mine done i found lots of you getting it done in 3 parts...wild!

lifetime warranty

patty, magma are in whitehill industrial estate, bathgate, west lothian, scotland.

They arent uk wide!

 

[R3OBC]

hehe, ive had a fair play wi a few car in that industrial estate

 

[ClioJohn]

aye there are alot of fannies rip their cars about that place. quite amusing

 

[R3OBC]

Cliojohn, ive decided i aint buying wheels, gonna ring magma n book my car in for next month when im up!!!!!!!! Cool

 

[ClioJohn]

quality

heres my advice, get 20% all round. In theory it is illegal by 15% on the front, but ive never had any hassle.

I used to have 35% on the front/rear side windows and 20% on the back window. Wasnt even remotely dark enough, so had it redone!

Ill show you mine when your up

 

[R3OBC]

Just booked it in for the tuesday. Andy told me there are cars there to look at the different tints. So, i shall decide on the day which tint to go for! Rob

 

[Paul16V]

I know someone who can do em a lot cheaper. if anyones willing to drive to junction 31 M1

 

[ClioJohn]

so you pay for what you get, i was happy to pay 200 for a decent job.

The medium tint isnt dark on the front rob, you can see in perfectly...looks almost untinted at night!

honestly get 20% all round, looks mint!

that andy bloke is a top lad

 

[R3OBC]

Well my mate has just had a mid-smoke on his mini and he reccomends that. I aint after a dark tint, just a nice one! i shall see on the day its mental booking my car in for tints somwhere thats 230 miles away lol!!! might need to get a magma sticker on the car for back down the road lol

 

[ClioJohn]

they put one in the sunstrip for you and one on your rear window.

I picked the rear one off the first time and told them not to bother the second.

 

[ClioJohn]

here is a pic of the sticker btw

[Rousey]

can someone tell me the legal percentage tint? cos im almost certain mines on nearly 90% all round! if not 90% u can only just see in when u right up close , and the bk looks ok, but can see the join, they did it across one of the heat line things, hope i dnt get knicked! he said it will be ok but still can u not lie and say its 65% and u didnt know clio windows came tinted

 

[R3OBC]

i aint gettin the sun strip!! Andy offered it tho

 

[ClioJohn]

you can get the rear window and the back/side windows as dark as you like

the windscreen is not really allowed a tint

and the front/side windows must be no lower than 30%

 

[Rousey]

so im in the clear wiv possible 90% all round, or do u mean the front side ones cant be more than 30%??

 

[White16valver]

I think its the case that the fronts must have a minimum of 65% VLT (Visual Light Transmission), so you can have 35% tints assuming your windows were plain glass beforehand - but most manufacturers have a slight tint, so if you want to stay strictly legit, get a 25% tint on the front to account for the slight manufacturer tint, and maybe a dark smoke on the rears. I wouldnt go Midnight as that looks a bit tacky IMO...

 

[captain_clio]

what percent is the standard clio tint on dynamiques?

 

[Rousey]

hm.....think my fate is already decided, pretty sure its midnight all round, but it looked pretty good

 

[White16valver]

Police are cracking down round here so better safe than sorry!



Still doesnt mean Im not tempted to get all round mirror tints...

 

[Rousey]

ill just say, its tinted 65%, must of already bin tinted some, or its how i bought it

 

[ClioJohn]

i assume by 90% you have 10% limo tints.

That is quite defo illegal, you would get pulled for that up here likes.

 

[Rousey]

do u not think either of my excuses would wash?

 

[Rousey]

do u think either of my excuses will wash?

 

[ClioJohn]

not if you have a 10% tint no really na

 

[black_rt]

i was kinda hopin that some one good tell me where to go to get it done, doh really wana travel more than an hour away from wolverhampton.

 

[black_rt]

come on somebody must no somewhere in the midlands, im new at this game only had my licence a few weeks. help?????

 

[Ben16V]

jason, get down to B and Q get a fat tin of spray paint and just fu*k it, spray em black!!lol

 

[black_rt]

nah ill let you try that, it would only look right if i had dirty standard 14" wheels. 16"s deserve to have proprer tints.
