Looking for a bit of advice here.
The window on the drivers side has a fairly big scratch across it and I wondered if anyone has had their replaced before or if anyone knows if it’s fairly easy to fix? It’s not noticeable when driving or really noticeable unless you’re taking a close look, but I’m wondering whether it’s worth replacing or just leaving?
One of the reasons for asking is I’m thinking of tinting the windows and don’t know whether to tint a scratched window or get a new one fitted and then tinted.

Is it worth tinting the side windows?
The % of tint is very low and if you’re caught you’ll only have to rip it off.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Well possibly not. I want to get the back window tinted and thought I might do the sides at the same time. Depends on what it looks like

I think I'd prefer a gloss wrap if I did it (I've got the same silver as you and have been contemplating it). Not too keen on back wheels either! 
35is, sadly gone, but not forgotten.

Fair enough! Each to their own I suppose!
I love the black contrast with the silver!
