How do I safely black out my side windows?

[alexman]

Z4MR so just want to black out side windows and rear a little for more privacy - whats the safest way of doing this so that its easily removable when I sell the car?

Eh it's illegal to tint the side windows more than 30% (or maybe 20% can't remember!). That's why coupes with sun glass only have the rear window and wee rear quarters tinted. The factory glass has a mild UV tint already so i doubt there's much you can do except tint the rear!

I had my windows professionally tinted...mine is letting 54% of light through the front and 42% on the rear. It can easily be peeled off and the windows will just need a wash.
I don't think i would bother on a Roadster though.

Lucy,

Now that you have posted a couple of more pictures, you did a good job on your calipers....

I was thinking about getting it done on my roadster but then I think it will probably be more hassle than it’s worth. The police are really picky about it around here and maybe it would make the inside too dark.


Ring around some window tinting specialist for some details on the amount of tint etc, they will tell you straight away.

The internet also has some pre-cut tints, don’t know if they are legal or not!

My friend is a window tinter. He tells me that to do the rear window on a roadster is a nightmare. He says that there is virtually no space to fit the film onto the window.
