Was a relatively easy job , even doing the rear window . You just have to make sure the glass is very very clean and follow the instructions, I got a link to a you tube clip when I bought mine .

Personal presence but keep it legal. If you go too dark, you may be in danger of your van looking, well; like a van. 20% will do. Some good comparison vids on YouTube.

Here's two photos (not the best as parked on the drive). It's sunny here today.
The cab windows aren't tinted at all just original factory glass. They're a bit dirty as done over 1000 miles recently to cornwall and back and not washed it yet! The tint is fine looking out, it just makes looking in harder!
I know this was years ago but is this "Limo" 5% tint?
many thanks
Rich

is window tinting still considered a windows out job (in which case im not going there), or can it be done with them still in?

Windows don’t need to come out - I had part of my rear window done in complete black to cover the storage area for my spare parts & tools as it looked a bit untidy.
Cost is pretty reasonable as well:

I think most of us have big lists when it comes to our vans

Is that opaque film on the outside ? I need to redo the current opaque film on the outside of the wardrobe section. Never looked into it before though really. As you say, lists of lists, in-between life...

I’m not exactly sure what this one was called but wanted one that no one could see through. Cost was £20 to supply and fit by a local tinting company.

Did mine myself with kit bought on ebay, bit of a faff separating the film, removing air bubbles etc, especially the rear window, not so good as getting it done professionally, I think the kit cost about a tenner.
