Now a dilemma window tint or front grill. Thoughts anybody.

[BruceT]

I had my mod1 windows tinted, all 5 for £225. that was for 75% tint

I don't get it either. I think the new front end looks better than the gen 1. Form follows function

One thing I do like is the flap is less obvious. I wish it was more hidden as standard.

Where did you get it done and can you comment more on the quality?

It was Direct Windscreen Services Ltd in Norwich. The job was and is superb. One thing I especially liked was, I wanted to get the front sides done too but she said not to, they did have a tint that was light enough to be legal but said you wouldn't notice it so no point. told me to save the money. She also WOULDN'T do any tint that wasn't legal.

I’ve been quoted £250 by the dealer

My dealer was supposed to have the rear windows tinted before delivery and failed to do it. I went to a local company who did an excellent job on all windows except the windscreen and roof, the cost was £360, the dealer had quoted £299 for less windows.

I definitely love the blacked out grill, looks so good. I thought the new model was ugly with the new grill.
In Australia where i am, the new grill would just show up lots of insect hits and possible stone chips.

One benefit of a black panel is it would be good for a DIY respray if you get the inevitable stonechip damage.

Some people have too much money! If I had it I'd spend it on a few decent meals for my family. But, I like tinted windows.

Rear windows tinted will be around £180 Mark, fronts too will be around £210 mark

The front very light tint would give UV protection and prevent burnt arms I was told.

So would sunscreen at only a couple of quid a bottle though.

Good point - never thought of that. The aroma would save having to buy pine trees to hang on the mirror.
