Blacked Out Windows

[ClaretEngineer]

That Mondeo must be running a serious YB with all those vents!

[DCWat]

I can see why they turn heads but I think it’s a different reason to the one you’re thinking

Do you wear special driving attire?

[Foshiznik]

Those two cars are amongst the most disgusting things I've ever seen.

A little harsh. I've put alot of hard work into my cars, as you can see by the pictures.

[Chobulous]

For those interested (seemed alot of positive interest in my cossie above), my other half has just bought her self an immaculate Astra off ebay. She's had it a couple of weeks and she has worked over 2 whole weekends getting it together. The car was a standard Astra. All work done with her own hands (i may have helped a little...) Was wondering whether she should put blacked out windows in it?

I'd get the b@stard who spilled the black paint on it.

[Blackrod]

Might as well go the whole hogg as you are not going for the subtle look.

[CJW]

'Dope' isn't it?

Turn a lot of heads in that bad boy.

And, I dare say, quite a few stomachs.

[Foshiznik]

This one didn't get as good feedback as the cossie.

[Foshiznik]

You no likey?

Wheres ya chrome son?!!?

[Rumbletonk]

By jiggery thump they're eye catchers. Each to their own I guess.

Back on to tinted windows. I hate blacked out back windows on the motorway. They stop those behind seeing what's happening up ahead, if that makes sense

[CJW]

You no likey?

Hell no.

Your other half is a 17 year old boy I assume?

[Foshiznik]

Hell no.

Why not? If not the Astra, you wouldn't turn down the cossie would you? Once I've sprayed the front bumper you would be forgiven for mistaking it for a car from Too fast, Too furious.

What do you mean?

So you can use your phone or key up in your car without being seen by the 5 0

[Chobulous]

key up in your car without being seen by the 5 0

I guessing that's some sort of "down there with the gangstas" parlance

"down there with the gangstas" has a completely different connotation!

I believe "they" are calling them "Feds" these days.

[Pstotto]

It all comes from the BBC and their remit for England to be seen as a 'gangsta' nation, methinks...

I don't like it either:

Does anyone have any contacts for detailers in the Padiham area? I've tried to do a DIY job on th'Astra and it's not come out as well as the Mondeo.

[Rumbletonk]

I find that difficult to believe

[starting_11]

Wot else u had in your collection Fozh?

[deanothedino]

Affords a certain amount of privacy as well as having heat reflective properties. Also reduces the glare from headlights

Doesn’t reduce glare if it’s a legal tint. Not unless you drive looking out of your rear passenger or back window that is.

I meant glare from the rear when looking in the rear view mirror. Though I suspect that most of the glare was reduced by the auto-dimming rear view mirror.

This proves you are taking the p!ss.

[Foshiznik]

Why? Do you think I do a professional job? Have you got eyes?!

[BennyD]

I just questioned who in their right mind would pay to have a green Barrymobile polished. Trying to justify it proves my point. You can't polish a turd, but you can roll one in glitter; I just hope this doesn't describe your efforts.
