I will most probably be getting tints on my front windows as dark as legally possibly (not to sure how dark that is, i dont think much) and a normal front standard black sun strip. I was just wondering on your opinions please as whether to do it (just sun strip/just front tints etc) or how to do it ie (not too dark).
(couple of pics for help)
After this i'll be getting gsi side skirts and buckets. Then saving the rest for a LET.

If it was me, I'd just get the darkest you can get for the front and do it all round.
Unless you want to do a bit of private dogging 
If you need to get a sunstrip, remember the wiper cannot pass over it or it's an MOT fail

A mate's got a corsa C with it done, but the car's black. Don't know what it'd look like on a lighter colour.
And you've got to remember that the inside will be quite cave like as well.

a legal front tint is so small its not worth doing as it wouldnt be noticable

It is pretty noticeable if you look at a non tinted window and a factory tinted one from a sport etc. even the slight factory tint is much bette imo.

If you want the front ones to have a noticable difference you need to tint them darker than legal. Check out my garage, some of the later pics of my old 1.0 have darker than legal tints, looks good but it was incredibly dark inside
