Is it easy ?
Is it removable (when I screw it up) ?
Do the pro's use the same materials as the diy'ers (but put it on better) ?
Opinions anyone ?

Keep in mind that having an ebony interior will make it look 10% darker then it is....30% on ebony will show like 20% on Beige just FYI.

Either way, go legal limit, especially on black. I have 20% on mine...

I always pay a professional. I have never seen a home job as good as a professional job.

Current UK law is fuzzy.
My only doubt is I'm not sure whether it will look quite right with two rear windows with a dark tint and the front with original Audi.
Maybe I'll do some Photoshop stuff to try and see...<ul><li><a href="http://www.pentagonglasstech.com/news_legal_update.asp">UK legal stuff</a></li></ul>

NO tint what so ever on the front windows..

If you go and see Pentagon, they will explain the law to you.

The Audi's windows are already tinted, so adding a further film makes them fall outside the law.

The Sportback looks good with tints from the B Pillar back! (smoke or light smoke are the best..)
