Rear tinted windows

[GCHQAgent]

I have to say it - I saw a very nice BMW today. It was a blue 5 series saloon but the thing that made it look so nice was the fact that it had matching blue rear tinted windows.

So I have to ask people here - is there an easy/cheap way to change the dark rear tinted windows on the IS200 Sport to match the body colour? Please, someone say its possible and tell me how!!

if your cars a sport it wont be possible......

however if your car is any is200 it will be difficult for any tinters to trim the back glass as its a pain to get to fully........just try cleaning it from the inside.

the only realistic way(but painfull i know)

is to gob the back glass,or try and get it removed and get a new piece of glass fitted with the coloured tint

not really the news you was looking for was it.......

Sorry if my little joke upset you.:P:P

You can get the front too done in black for £80, but if you want them all done in Green you will have to replace the rear glass. Try some one like Pentagon they are expensive but very good.

am i right that it is illegal to have anything other than a thin strip across the top of the windscreen?

I'm ok.... now :P

I'll look them up and if I ever do need replacements then I'll get them green... I'm not gonna replace a perfectly good window just to change the colour of the tint. :)

It is not illegal to have a tint on your windscreen or front windows, as long as it lets 70% light through. That means you can't have the mega dark limo tints. Most manufacturers put a slight tint on the front glass anyway (between 10 and 20%) So any new tint would not look that much darker. You can have the rears on back window as dark as you like because the law just classes it as a van.
