Would you guys recommend installing window tints yourselves or would you go to a pro? Been checking out this kit for 35 quid and I'll quite interested, not sure if doing it myself will be an epic challenge.
3 door 206 window tints
www.window-tint.co.uk/...newer.html
The kit the site sells comes with a squeegee and spray bottle as well as having full instructions on the site

Being the picky sort - I really hate it when people say this. Yes we all know what it looks like - but we all want to see the condition that yours is in! | |

I'd go pro mate.. got tints on my 5 door, and the boot window is very hard to do as a DIY, due to the curve.

Yh, might look easy, but if the first lot was to get messed up in anyway, thats another lot you would have to buy, and for that price, for not much more, you can get a professional to do it.

Done mine myself, the back window is way too hard without professional tools due to the curve of the window. I bought enough roll to do it more than once and used it all with no avail on the back there's a small air gap no matter what. And do not buy pre cut

i tried doing it to a bmw i had ages ago and the back windows aint easy and that only had a small curve compared to the 206 window. i f****d it up and got it done pro. dont waste your money doing it yourslef it is cheap enough to get it done by someone else and if they f*** it up they dont charge you extra for it. lol
