I'm going to tint the rear window for privacy but can't make my mind up to go for black limo or silver?
Rear vision is not a problem as a rev camera will also be fitted
What are your views?

i'd go black, as driving behind it with sun reflecting off silver would be a bugger!

Neither - go for net curtains.

Tinted widows look cool. But do you really want to look out your windows on a sunny day and everything to look gloomy?
Black not silver.

Yeh it wouldn't be nice to be in a BMW stuck behind a fully loaded camper doing 20mph up hill with the sun dazzling you reflecting off the rear window........

My first T25 had net curtains fitted to the rear windows. Net curtains are also known as 'mind your own business curtains'.

Has to be Limo Black, Looks a lot classier than silver in my opinion.
Just remember in the dark with the lights on inside it can be seen through!

I've always had/have the anthracite silver....looks good, privacy is good and it makes a great camping mirror!

I live in England, I could have rose tinted Windows and for 10 months of the year it would still look gloomy.
I think the Limo wins the vote.

With net curtains on the front

Limo isnt needed. I did my last bus in limo too dark to see out off driving a night, how about a blue green red etc? Ive gone for light smoke rear, two rear sides dark smoke and half of the sliding windows in light smoke. Just enough to keep sun off my kids. Theyre not vampires by the way. Its much more private too.
