    I went legal on the front windows, which is 35% I think, and then a shade darker for the rest. Which is all within the rules. Was considering the really dark one for the rear, but thought it may be a bit too dark at night, pretty happy with what I have.

    I just happened to be right next door to 'Ipswich Window Tinting' before xmas and ducked in for a quote on my 2002 130. My original drivers door tinting is in bad shape. They quoted $350 (all windows) and offered a lifetime guarantee. I simply haven't gotten back to it yet.
    Do they all offer the lifetime guarantee, and anyone know of any catches with that guarantee?
    Generally after 15 years the tint starts peeling. Has technology improved that much, or are relying on no-one keeping a car that long?
    Cheers

    Ive seen a couple landys getting around with that combination of tinting i think the new range rovers come with lighter tint on the front windows and darker on the rear it would probably be a pretty good combination for driving at night. Yea lifetime warranty is pretty impressive , id imagine they wouldnt expect anyone to come back in after 15 years or yea cars been sold on. I would expect after 15 years the tint would be fairly scatched and damaged anyway.

    Honestly, if they cant do the Alpine Windows I am not sure I would want them doing any tinting full stop. Remember this is their trade so should be able to do it.
    Had no problems getting my D1 and Defender done in Kalgoorlie. Granted it is not an easy job.

    Yep, I have to look up who tinted the Statesman as the back is bubbling, some 9 years after being done, however the guarantee says life and as long as we own the car, no actual limit. Could be challenging to get it done though will see. A lot when they say life often only mean 5 years.
