OK probably going to get slated for this post but here goes.

I would like to put a light smoke tint onto my BMW 325i Touring windows. I am not going for the boy racer look. I am talking a light tint nothing serious. This would help to keep the interior cooler in the suposedly summer periods and aid security as the film would withstand a brick thrown at it, just look at the car jacking thread.

If anyone has a firm they recomend then please let me know.

I do not recomend that anyone has the very dark limo tint. I have been there seen it and done it just look at the Mk1 cortina pick up in my profile, great in the daytime useless at night.

I think you should look for a group called Pentagon.
There are a big company and I have looked at all of there tints and there not to dark. I think you will find an advert in good car mags.
Good luck

You can also buy a roll of tinted plastic film to cover the windows, this means you can do it yourself, much cheaper.

Dont forget that some alarms with infrared sensors get a bit funny when you have tinted windows.

This is in Cliffords manuals not just "some bloke down the pub told me", although some bloke down the pub told me about it.
