As title says just had the FFRR tinted by a friend of a friend. Before and after pics included.......thoughts?

This will no doubt be a split verdict as some people like them others feel it spoils the design. personally I quite like it and am thinking of having it done on mine, albeit for practical reasons as it elps keep the back cooler for the dogs and restricts their view out.

I had the tint done as the car is used for lugging the kids around and it keeps the sun off them and also some degree of privacy. Certainly not a fashion statement and to be honest i am not sure myself whether to keep or remove.

It looks good on your car. I've always associated tinted windows with upmarket/luxurious cars. The RR is such a car and tints look good on it.  Travelling around in circles again.

I prefer without but they look better on a Grey Range Rover than any other colour, great for kids too

I like the look

I have them on my silver RR and recently had them done on the wife's silver BMW - not a fashion statement, but tints make it much more pleasant for the kids in the back on sunny days 2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

I fitted a bespoke set of tailored blinds from the B pillar back for around £100. They do the job from a privacy and aesthetics point of view , keep the skids cooler and the window operation is unaffected . Good thing is they can be unclipped from each window in seconds during winter to allow for a better view on the darker days.

I like them, too.

They were done on my silver SC way before I took ownership, but I like the practical benefits of added security and far lower cabin temperatures and glare on hot days. My children benefit enormously.

Yours look good.

However, I do agree that reversing and maneouvring in the dark can be a pain. Si. <This is my name.

Just thought i would add that the shade was what the supplier would call 18% and what the punter would call 80% so i am told. The whole job only cost £130 and has been done to a high standard. The company contracts tints for RR main dealers but i got quote friends rate.

Thanks for everyone's opinions and comments

Impossible to recommend from an aesthetic point of view given the grating mismatch with the front windows.

Mine are factory privacy glass and with the Black paintwork look good (in my opinion anyway) I have always liked tints and had my old SD1 V8 rover (also Black) done for years until the MOT men started failing cars with them fitted (in the front)

I tend to agree with this, partly because mine has front tints as well and partly because I do think it looks better. I suspect most won't agree. Another aesthetic plus is it enhances the classic RR 'floating roof' effect, especially when the bodywork is painted in silver.

I too have gone with the bespoke blinds, less than £100 from vanstyle.

Easily fitted and removed as required and pretty much look similar.....

I had tints on my black Disco3 (looked like a drug dealers car my mum said) but from a keeping the interior cool and security aspect they were great. I also think that they look good too. Getting mine done in a few weeks. I had limo tint IIRC before and will do so again. 17 MY Corris Grey 4.4 VAB
