    Hey guys,

    Need to get an old merc tinted all over, getting crazy qoutes from the usual recommendations of 'shades' and 'autoflair' of about 250-300 euro! i was in london and got quotes for the equivalent of 140 euros! only didnt have time to take it in, i need a good quality job but not the best, it's an old merc after all, doubt i'll keep it for more than two years, so i don't need a lifetime or 5 year warranty.


    Thanks

    Moe

    Won't tinted windows fail any forthcoming NCT test your car has?
    Why bother?

    do it cheaply and it will look cheaply done

    My recommendation is to get it done properly or not at all.

    The quotes you got seem the norm

    most cars that come from the factory when bought new with factory tints have 50% VLT in them. NCT is not a failure on a tint

    Might be soon. In New Zealand for example it is illegal to do anything asthetic to your car unless it comes out of the factory looking like that or unless it is supplied from a dealer.

    You cannot put blue lights, whale tails, tint, body kits, after market fogs. The list goes on.

    We may just be going that way.

    Yet they have no NCT/DOE
