Got my car booked in to get the windows tinted tomorrow at 12, not sure what to get done now though. Was going to go for dark on the back 3 and light smoked on the front two but im not sure now.
Any pics of corsa's with the windows tinted nicely ? Iv'e has a bit of a search but havn't really found much. Don't really wanna go for limo black, just darkened.
Any help of what to go for, good points bad points much appreciated. Ill post some pics up when they are done.

I was thinking of asking them to put a sunstrip on the windscreen with tinting stuff if they would, as i havn't got one on mine.

ok maybe not they changed this law again or something?? Just found this
Are window tints legal?
The law is a bit tricky when it comes to window tinting so lets look at the bit that is perfectly clear. All windows from the middle of the car (from the B-pillar) backwards CAN be tinted to any desired level.
The front windows (windscreen and and door windows) can be tinted, although not by much. Some people will say that the front windows can not be tinted at all, whereas others think anything upto 30% (allows 70% of light through) is legal.
To be on the safe side we recommend the following guidelines:
* Front Windscreen - 25% tint
* Drivers window and front passengers window - 30% tint
* All other windows - Unlimited

This is the tints on my mums car, not too dark, there fairly subtle and add a nice touch to the car imo.
These were the ones on my brothers old corsa, they werent legal tho iirc.
These are the same as the ones on my mums car. legal i think.
My bro's gsi as it is now, same tints as other 2 cars.
And lastly they were the ones on my old Corsa C, dont think they were legal though.
Out of all those cars the Corsa was the only one to ever get pulled for them.
