The specialist shop said no problem except for the little windows at the top, as they are plastic and the tint will not take to them.

I've seen other D1's with tinted alpine windows, surely mine can not be the only ones made out of plastic. What have others done to tint theirs?

Hello mate I have a disco 1 and the springs were sagged in the front and just stock
all around So I went to a spring works and had them make me up a set of springs
heavy duty front and back and 2" higher than factory
OH mate beautiful best thing I did it handles like a sports car now
it cost me Three hundred dollars to get them all made up and I installed them myself
Lolz cheaper than lift kits and all that and your not tampering too much with the design

Sorry mate
and as for the Tint on the top windows mine are plastic
I tinted mine and had no dramas its 7 yrs now and
its coming off the front windows but its fine on the top ones
also some top windows are factory laminated already and dont need tint
they are glass
maybe the guy is just too lazy to get in to fiddle as its an awkward
spot to tint

Hi Clarky do you have any disco 1 alloy wheels
thanks mate

Find someone else to do the job. Plastic can actually be tinted if done properly. They can tint motorbike screens now without problems, so they could definitely tint Alpine windows on a Disco. But as said they should be glass if they're standard. Good luck.
