Anyone recommend a shade %? and from where?

Im thinking about it, i dont know yet, but I am really considering it. Seen a W202 with tint and chrome rims, popped a woody from it, it was legit clean and fresh looking.

Lemme know!

What are you looking for? Privacy? Sun blockage?

I have 20%(actual 18%) on the W202 with SunTek, and I have 35%(actual 38%) on my MkV with 3M ColorStable.

I would recommend going with a 35% since your W202 is Silver. Get a reputable brand with good series film. Don't get film with a purple base (meaning it will fade purple over years). Go with a shop that is a authorized installer with lifetime warranty (Film & Shop).

I was personally going to go with 20% rear windows and 35% front whenever I get around to tinting. Window tints, by the way, make things like the Club202 decal look a hell of a lot better.

I recently got my windows tinted 15% rear and 35% up front. Looked sooo good but it was only a couple weeks before a fix-it ticket made me take the fronts off. Now debating whether to go 15% all around :) I would definitely recommend from 35-15%

i always get confused with the tint numbering but i think i got 35 up front and 20 back. and its dark enough.

is there a manufacturer you would recommend? =x

Im probably gonna get it done by a shop so I can have some lifetime guarantee for it, incase it fades in a year, in which I will be very sadface :(

im guessing the stuff we get in the uK are different, and no, i can't really give you a manufacturers name as I dont know of one.. But I also have lifetime guarantee on it.
