    I'd go for 35% all round. I have seen this done to Mark CDX V6's Cavalier and it looks great, even from the inside, its not too dark.

    Mark CDX V6 took his car to some tinting specialist, and they removed all the glass, tinted them, then replaced them, all that cost £250.+ I believe,

    Hope you don't mind me posting this Mark.

    Seen that Cav on another website. v6cav.co.uk It looks well nice. The Astra Turbo wheels really set it off!

    Your side windows are meant to be 50% by law but alot of places will do them 35%.

    Im getting mine cheap by my uncle but his work wont do them if they aint legal so its gonna have to be 50% at the sides, 35 the rest.

    If you can get away with it then 35 all round.

    Dark Tint on a White Astra looks a bit Drug Dealer/Pimp, but not as bad as red.

    The guy at the place I had mine done had a MK3 Astra Estate in white with 35% all round, and even that looked a bit dark.

    Mine are 35% all round, but you should legally have 50% fronts and 5% others., although at 35% you are unlikely to get pulled.

    It depends on the colour of your interior aswell.

    A dark one doesnt need such a dark tint as it bounces back on itself.
