    A place in Leeds quoted me 220 quid to do my 3 door Corsa C, so it will probably be similar to that Mate.

    I paid £165 + VAT to have my 3 door Astra Mk4 tinted. Depends on the film and warranty offered m8.

    Hi mate,
    Had my calibra windows tinted at TINTR in nottingham which costs £150 for any car.
    Did an excellent job.

    Bugger thats cheap.

    My uncle did mine so i got them extremely cheap on the understanding that he gets to use the car for shows etc.

    But a mk3 3 door astra is in the books at £280 + VAT. Its all down to the stupid curves of the windows.

    Thats using Llumar film and lifetime warranty against bubbles or anything else.

    Every car i now own will be getting its windows tinted, fantatic addition.

    TintR use the same film and give the same warranty. Just that he works on his own thus low overheads.
    My car looks great and i would go back again if i chanced cars.

    Not doubting you but im not convinced with this "any car" thing. My mk3 Astra has only 5 windows you can tint, ok they are pretty big but a Mk3 3 door has 7 windows which will be a pain, a large people carry will have even more.

    Had my wife's MK3 Astra done for £150 at TintR in Nottingham.
    Like a previous post says, they did a fantastic job and really recommend them. The guys name is Richard there.

    Give Car Glass and Trim a call in Ipswich. They do window tints. Had many cars done there at work and so far have i've been impressed with their quality of work.

    If you want the number I can PM it to you.

    check the web site www.tintR.co.uk or ring and richard will tell you that it's £150 for any car.
    Anyway the calibra back window is one of 3 vehicles to have the largest area.

    They are 300 miles (there and back) away from me. Do they come out to you

    Neways need cash to pay for it

    lmao

    Do they take the windows out and refit? or just stick it on?, also is it that stuff that will keep the glass intact so, smash and grab chances are reduced?

    None of my windows were taken out, they just take a template off the outside of the glass and apply it to the inside.

    LLumar tints are not the same as security film which stops the window shattering although i think it might help a bit.
