Hi
My car was not fitted with the rear window and door blinds option, however I really need some in the rear door windows as my kids are getting blinded!!!
I wondered if anyone had sourced any blinds that can be fitted to the car with minimum hassle that look good, some kind of roller blind would be prefered
I am trying to avoid those giant blinds with a single sucker and a life size picture of a cat on it that so many people buy from mothercare!!!
Thanks for any ideas

Either that or john lewis do some straightforward black mesh ones without any pooh bears or smiley cats. I have these and sucker them on when the kids are in the car, then remove them when they are not.

Yeh I am looking to steer away from tint as over in the UK cars with tinted windows look a bit drug dealer / max powerish 
Its a shame that the genuine ones cost so much, guess I will be looking on ebay !!

I would hardly say it is Max Powerish!!
Once you have had tints done you will always get them done, it keeps to sun out of the car taking away the glare and more importantly it keeps the car so much cooler.
I have 40% tints, but 50% would do just as much but look lighter I guess.
