Get them all done or not at all...

The contrast looks bit gash with none on the front and tints on the back...

Go for light/mid on the front and mid/Dark on the back...

ie: front light, rear mid
front mid, rear dark

Had front mid, rear dark on my old punto and the contrast wasn't too much so looked good, didnt get queried about them either by the 50.

£80 a window...... bit steep.

Personally, i hate the limo black ones, i think they look cheap and tacky. I'd prefer to have a light smoke all around, so it looks more subtle

i have Midnight black on the back three and Charcoal on the front 2.. looks pretty smart - there are plenty of pics of my jam-jar about so search for my threads?

dark smoke is much better imo. ive got my back 3 done and it looks good. check my progress thread for some pics dude.

Personally i think it all depends of the colour of the saxo as to what tints suit it. I think black, gold, white or mango saxos look mint with tints but red or blue look better without.

I have dark smoke all round but i think it looks trick gives abit of privacy aswell.

I disagree mate,

I have back 3 limo black, and front all standard. But i like it like this as i got buckets in the front, So all people see when they look inside my car is my bucket seats. None of the tatty standard interior :p

Plus its illegal to tint the front.
