    I'm not surprised you travel if you live in Wigan.....do you actually return when you travel? :rotfl:

    There's another thread somewhere about window tints, you have to be careful because if they are too dark you can get fined

    You can have as dark as you want from rear passenger seats back... tints on front side windows are illegal. I must express that when it comes to tints cheap isn't best!! You can buy the stuff yourself and do it.. but you'll end up in bubbles and cracks all over the place!!!

    I know a super place.. but way too south foryou!!

    thats veeerrrryyyyy cheap.

    Remember that if your radio aeriel is built into your back window you will need ceramic based tinting film - otherwise it's bye bye medium wave and cheerion longwave on your radio.

    The thing that normally makes it deal with the quality of the tint.. I had some done.. and they faded.. looked horrid.... but had them redone somewhere reputable and top notch stuff.. a roll of good quality tint costs £100's!

    And the window tints are to stop the sun coming into the back of my car on my baby daughter. is there really any need for you to be such an obnoxious !!!!!!?!

    I hope it has helped, we got our windows tinted for the same reason, our daughter is 14mths and it was the best £100 we have spent for her, car journeys are so much easier now
