ac606 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 My new '06 A6 does not have the factory standard tint. I'm considering having the windows tinted, however I'd like to find out what % tit would be best. I'm after something similar the the standard Audi tint, anybody know what % this is? - I'm not looking for anything crazy here. Also having been quoted £200 from Diamond tint, is that about right for an Avant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impactcrew Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Tints is the way foward for follwoign reasons: 1. Cooler 2. Security 3. Privacy 4. Looks Depending on how many windows you are tinting £200 sounds a good deal, if that is just the rear windows. I would say go for Dark Smoked or limo dark if you want really dark tints, i think you can only tint front windows about 60% for it to be road legal but don't hold me to it. Tints i would recommend.

ac606 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) no plans to tint the front windows, just B pillar back as I want to keep things legal. Any idea what percentage tint on the factory fit tint windows? Edited June 17, 2009 by ac606 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impactcrew Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 not sure about factory tints but do think that factory tints are not dark enough so a rough guess would be you get 60% tints on factory fitted but if you go aftermarket tints then you could quite easily get 80% tints. It might be worth ringing Audi direct and asking them if they know what percentage are factory tints? Sorry could not be of any further help!

Mook Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 You can go for a 30% tint without any problems. This is my old S4, which was 30% on the front windows and 70% on the rears, if that gives you an idea. Passengers hanging on in the front and the back is not compulsory - it's just the Nürburgring...

shark_90 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Most front windows are tinted to the legal limit, look for an AS2 I think it is on the manufacturers mark on the windows. I've just had mine done with (I think) 70% blocking and although it looked a bit alien at first and I was a bit worried about the visibililty at night, it's perfectly OK and just right IMO. I paid £140 by Tintz UK in Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 By the way, if you really do want me hanging on in the back as displayed in Mook's picture above then my rates are very reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
