Thanks to Doc_Horror and Wilbert (former member) I had my windows tinted at the same place (in Belgium) Doc had his 645i done. Very professional outfit and at discount price ! cheers buddy ! 
Rears (B pillar and back) is all 35%. Front driver+passenger is 50% as this is the max allowable in the Netherlands (in theory).
Looks fantastic
- don't know why I hadn't done this earlier - shadowline coming up next..

Congrats Andy, this is a great mod!
I would like to tint them but here is illegal due to the terrorism laws .
So I was thinking to try with a light tint .
In your opinion is it possible a very light tint ?
Something that can pass if police stop you, something they can't notice with a quick look .
Just for curiosity, which is the 'discount price' ?
Thanks, bye!
Edit :
Not bad the way those taillights look when turned off

Alex, the lower the number the darker the tint. If you need light you will be looking for 50-60%.
