What tools will I need apart from spanners?
DUNCAN
I hope you've tried tinting before young man.
I wouldn't start by practicing on your car. It can be a bit tricky ;) bubble, bubble, crease, crease.....
Scorpion
a cross head screwdriver, to take the screw out that is in the finger well.
disconnect the red door light then prise the door card off round the edges

:D :D

Oh and the plastic clip that surrounds the internal door lever.

hope this helps

Yep, Don't do it.
Get a proffesional in.... it'll save you money in the long run.
Seriously Matt, you'll be tearing yer hair out, it's not that easy.

A Biro is good, but I think it may exceed the 75% legal limit. Wadda ye think ?

If your doing it yourself make sure you thouroughly clean the glass
with a used(almost worn out)scouring pad,the one with the sponge
on the other side
When applying film make sure the glass is always wet with soapy water
Have you got the plastic tool to squeeze the water out with?
Always start from the middle and push outwards.


Oh and you need a seriously sharp surgical knife(thats for your wrists)
coz if you dont do it properly its quicker to slash your wrists,and have red tints

I don't think you should...

I reckon it's quite easy to do the sides, the windows are not that curved and they're not that big either. As long as the window is clean and there is no dust around you should be fine. I did my own tints and the guy from tint-r said I did a good job.
