not worth it IMO, youl never get the finish of a professional place, and you wont have the quality fo work guaranteed either!! IMO keep ya money, save up £150 and get it done by a pro, well worth it and it looks mint!! (plus they provide all the tint, equipment, etc so ya dont have to spend money on that!!)

Dont be cheap as it often is shown in the finished product its a known fact DIY tints never look anywhere as good as pro ones....people will only point and laugh.
Remeber this bit of gospel info...cheap mods= tacky car. Save up and buy decent stuf and the car will look miles better.
Steer clear of cheap alloys, petrol cap sticker, neons, neon washer jets and shopping lists down the side of the car and you cant go wrong.

totally different
side windows are a piece of piss
rear back window impossible with precut as with the curve on the screen you need special window tint which that shit off ebay is not it will not take to it and you will no way get it to take around the heated elements

it seems a bit unclear regarding the laws 
some websites say not tints on the front at all http://www.4youngdrivers.co.uk/pages/information/modifying-laws/window-tinting.asp
and some say 25% and 30%
Has law on window tinting changed?

Front Windscreen: 25% (they must let 75% light through)
Front Windows (i.e drivers and passengers): 30% (70% light must get through)
All other windows – No restriction.

all tints before the b-pillar are illegal. i dont care what percentage you think youre allowed. if its not a factory option, its illegal. used to be 30%, but that was changed a few years ago
