Hi Busaboy. Where in Hamble are you? Haven't seen any new cruisers around the village. My neighbour used Johnsons window tinting company that are on the industrial estate by the contact lens factory, i believe. They did a real tidy job on his ML. He had a dark smoke tint , not quite limo black but dark enough to keep out prying eyes. All windows except front doors cost £200 and took about 2-3 hours. Looks factory fitted.  HTH

 Steve.

Havent had the cruiser much in Hamble, you might have seen my work pick up though, black Navara with huge orange stripes down the sides, it does stand out a bit Smile
Do you happen to know the name of the tinting company?

A word of warning, when i got my 80 import it had tinted wndows, one night i pulled up at a junction on an angle to the adjacent road which meant to turn right i had to sort of look behind the passenger seat & look through the rear passenger window, i pulled out & nearly killed a cyclist because i simply couldn't see him through the tint in the dark, didn't hit him but was mighty close, tints were off next day.

Tinted Windows
Excessively tinted windows restrict the driver’s vision, especially in dark conditions and may prevent drivers from seeing other road users and pedestrians.

For motor vehicles first registered before 1 April 1985 the windscreen and front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to be transmitted through them.

For motor vehicles first registered on or after 1 April 1985 the light transmitted through the windscreen must be at least 75% while the side windows must transmit at least 70%.

Yep. Seen the Navara flying around. The name of the firm is Johnson Window tints. I believe they are in the industrial estate behind the newly built houses , down by the contact lens factory. I'll try and get their number for you.
