I wouldnt bother do it, I've seen many people try and do it themselves and after a few months it starts to peel off.
Its worth spending the money for a professional to do it, shouldnt cost much for just the rear anyway.

Well the Film costs about 15-18 quid, will be enough to do the side windows, and about 20-25 for the one to do the rear window, so your talking about 40-50 ish.
Get it done properly, try www.m-tints.co.uk , doing cheap xmas tinting!

ive done mine with film and they dont look too bad BUT there is a definate difference when you look at a pro job - there are a few issues with them (bubbles, creases etc...)

Theres a guy local to me who does it proffesionally with 3m film. Id never ever put anything else on my car again after seeing the work hes done and the quality of the film. Its guarenteed not to fade or go purple and will come off the car if you need it to leaving no sticky marks at all.
You get what you pay for! If you want a shit job do it yourself or if you want it to look as good as it can be pay £150
