Replacement windscreen - what tint?
Have a steel grey STi 6 (classic shape). And this is the 2nd time I've had a replacement windscreen. Been asked what the tint is. It's either blue or green but when I hold a piece of white paper behind the windscreen it just looks blueish-green to me.
Does anyone know what colour tint the windscreen should be on a steel grey classic?

Yup steel grey also 
Sides are green tint, just did what you did, tried with my hand first and went darker but greenish, then paper, greenish, still the original one I think, looks exactly the same as yours (except mine has a stone chip in it
)

Stone chip! Let me tell you about stone chips... Had one on the bonnet (bottom right in photo) and a crack on the windscreen (right hand side by the wiper in the photo). Same bloody stone bounced off the bonnet and cracked the windscreen.
However, splashed out and had the bonnet, front bumper/splitter resprayed and new boot and STi 6 spoiler fitted and the arches rust proofed. Car now looks nearly as good as new. Just trying to find some quality STi decals for fog lamp covers and it'll be back to normal.
Anyway, thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

Just done the same thing except on the other half of the car 
roof (by the top of the windscreen bubbling), boot, rear arches (which have been blended into the rear quarters) front bumper where there was a scrape so all looking pretty new now 
(believe it or not the bonnet is in good order, front wing, drivers side, has a very small rust spot from a stone chip, need to get that sorted).
