Windows Tinted

[Monaro Pete]

Finally had my windows done yesterday




Overall I'm quite happy with the result. Not as dark as I wanted, but I knew it wouldn't be, hence the Solarplexius panels that are on their way from Sweden that I can remove in winter

Can you see my dog? She's looking at you

That's a cool clean looking truck
Is the spare wheel cover covered in a blue film that you cant bring yourself to remove

Does look good. Did they ask you what level of tint you wanted?

[jims-terrano]

It looks great, pretty much like the factory tint shade.

Can't go wrong with tinted windows! Well, kind of. The car looks great, Pete. What's next on the agenda? If anything.

[Mr K]

What level of tint is that please. Looks good

Thank you

Yup, it's the protective film that's dried on & is now a beep to remove as it just flakes in tiny pieces

The cover was used on my old truck & it looked ok as the two shades went well together, but looks awful on the new one

Yes mate.
I just said the darkest you have. I recall when we used "Limo Black" way back in the nineties, it was proper dark, but I guess different manufacturers have different ideas of shade.
The film he used was classed as "Limo Black" & was USA made.

Thank you

Next is to fill the dent & spray. I won't be posting any pictures of my work in progress as I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing & I'll make an arse of myself

I've been viewing youtube for tips & procedure

I've pushed most of the dent out, but the steel is stretched & the paint has come off.
It's been covered in chain lube for a few weeks to stop any rust forming

That does look good, I was quoted £160 a while back and might just go for it.

[Mr K]

Also, what make are the wind deflectors? They also set it off nicely

I was thinking of getting some at some point myself.

Those deflectors look like Heko brand about £30 from eBay for a Terrano, got same brand on Skoda. I think they look neat.

Jim’s right Martin. Heko. Brilliant lookers for the money and a smaller profile and flatter to the glass than factory.
I had some on mine at the weekend.
