Senna is on a distinguished road
Default A spin on privacy glass

I have the car booked in at Pentagon Enfield next Tuesday morning for a little alteration on the privacy glass.

I'm not happy with what looks like a vast difference in tinting between the privacy glass sections of the car and the two front windows. Kind of makes me (or the Mrs) look like someones chauffeur

Using the same shade/tint/colour as the privacy glass section, Martin from Pentagon is going to darken them down a little. I have quite a few friends who have used their services on many top motors in the past with superb results.

The aim here is to still leave the front windows lighter (which will hopefully help not draw the attention of the police) but not at the level it is now (probably 30%) which is way too much of a contrast with the rest of the windows. Something like 50% would probably look great.

Will post some pics next week when it's done.

Did you get the windows redone?

If so what is your opinion now and what grade did you have done.

Cheers

Baz

Hi Baz,
Yes indeed all done. Been tearing busy of late hence the late reply.

Anyway, without further ado some pics as follows.

The Pentagon shade is called 'smoke' and it falls roughly half way between Audi's very dark factory privicy glass (as per the rear windows) and the much lighter glass up front.

Much of the time you can tell the front windows are lighter (keeps old bill away) but at most angles it all looks ultra seamless. A brilliant job well done for only £100 quid plus vat!

Here's the first shot showing that there is still a difference.

Here's a few more taken from other angles showing how much better things look with this relatively cheap upgrade.
