New Window Tints-BlobEye STI
After some help from various members on here posting pics up, I had my car booked in today for some window tints.
Front 2 sides are a light smoke, rear 3 are a medium smoke. Wanted a subtle look rather than limo black rears, which I think look best on the 3Door Imprezas.
Even got a lift to and from the shop from the owner whilst he did the tints in his very smart A6, what a service.
All done Mark from Tintman in Clacton-Essex.
In the direct sunlight they appear a lot lighter, as you can see. Even still the cars a LOT cooler inside, from this expected heat wave we're about to get

, they are so light though it may go past the radar, as the fitter said, if they can see the driver pretty clearly you should be 99% ok. If not I'll take them off, simple as.

You best bet is to look in Halfords, they do some good mesh, or Demon Tweeks web site, as you know you need an open style of mesh nothing too tight looking.

as said front tints r illegal if they let in less 30% light i no & got pulled £30 fine but no points this time if u get pulled cars marked for 6months with the chance of getting 3 points each window +fine nx time ur pulled
they r going to include window tints as part of mot if dont meeet 30% limit its a fail
some people are being made to remove tints at road side .

looks good mate, I've got the same tints on mine - never had any problems with the old bill. Personally I don't think they know the difference between ultra light and light. Its the poeple with medium, dark and limo at the front they always pull over.
Like the toyo wheels, did the tyres comes with the white toyo logo? or did you use one of the those tyre pens?

Oh yes the white Toyo's are done with white tyre pen. Done a few days ago to see how it looks, as I'm due for some new tyres soon thought I'd try it now, I actually like them, but they have started to crack a bit, not badly just in parts, so looks like they won't last long.
