I am trying to keep her as stock as possible but I'm just thinking giving a factory privacy glass look just looks so satisfying...

Yay or nay?

What are your thoughts?

Don’t tint. Just get the shades from Vanstyle that are custom fit and just pop in. Had them in my TD6 and gives about the same look, but can move them in and out as needed.

You missed a bit ^ (which is part of the problem with them).

Thats how I bought it silly boy . Eyetest time

I love the functionality of tinted windows in that they help keep the car cool on hot days, but prefer the clear look. Sadly tints have a certain association that means they are a ‘style’ issue rather than a point of pure functionality, especially with Range Rovers and pharmaceutical entrepreneurs.

I have factory tints on my Range Rover, but if I had to spec a new one now I would be struggling to decide.

I absolutely hate the clear glass look. I often see a new Range Rover a 2022 or 2023 and it has clear glass and I think, why did you spec the car like that. Every car I have has either factory Tint or I have had it done but if I'm doing it I usually go JDM spec. Dark enough to stay cool, have privacy of belonging etc but clear enough to see out. Range Rovers look better with tint in my opinion as the glass blends in with the b, c and d pillar to make a very good looking side profile. Current yokes

Hi, it does look a bit Gangsta on darker cars with tints on, like black, blue, green, but seems to suit the car more with lighter colours, asp white & silver, follows that "floating roof" theme.

I much prefer with to be honest, all that faffing about with blinds, windows opening etc. getting damaged when not fitted etc. can be a bit of a nightmare with kids, dogs and whathave you. Also I like the security of being able to leave stuff in the back out of sight.

Personal choice I guess, but aftermarket tints do look a bit amatuer night on the rear screen when it never quite sits with the heater elements well. Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

Hi, you can tint the front ones, but that pesky law gets in the way here.

Take away the standard tints of about 15% from the 30% legal maximum restriction in the UK for front side windows and then your only able to add about 15% additional tint it's hardly worth the effort.

Any more than that and the Rozzers might be on your case.

As Philip points out, they probably airbrush the publicity shots anyway so you may be pursuing an ideal that can't legally be copied. Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

I like the look of tints but.....as has been mentioned by others - you can't legally dark tint the front ones in the UK.

My SC has tints, but they are blue so they look OK from the outside but chavvy from the inside so I was going to try a DIY removal and go clear but the better half has said no. She likes the privacy.
Also, aftermarket tints have that ring around them where they don't adhere to the glass edges which gives the game away.
I'm going to have them changed though. I think a brown tint will suit the light interior.

Does she always sit in the back?

Hi, the giveway for what it's worth, are the heating elements / aerials. In the factory privacy glass they're hidden, but with the tints they're exposed. Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster
