Drunk Hi, about time I introduced myself...

Hi, I bought a 147 around six months ago and think I got an absolute bargain for such a top car. It had only done 37k, it's an 02 reg and I only paid 4.5k for it. Haven't done anything to it yet, other than get the windows tinted.

I've attached a picture below... I love it!

Re: Hi, about time I introduced myself...

Cheers all... Hoping to sort out a decent sound system for it soon. Already replaced the factory fitted cd player, it kept skipping really bad! and the radio reception was terrible. I have some 6x9's to fit, but from what I've read it seems like a bit of a nightmare to get to the rear speakers.

Re: Hi, about time I introduced myself...

What level is the tint? Have you got any more picture showing the tint better?

Re: Hi, about time I introduced myself...

The tints go from dark, medium to light (rear window, back two then front two)... The place where I got them done advised me that it wasn't strictly legal to get anything on the front two done but i think the lightest shade should be fine. I can certainly see through them well enough. According to the DSA they have to allow 70% light through, haven't got any equipment to check but I should imagine they do allow that. I will try and sort out some more pics 2moro.

I don't know why there are legal restrictions though as what is the difference between having tinted windows and driving wearing dark sunglasses? (yeah... that will be my defense if I ever get stopped lol)

Re: Hi, about time I introduced myself...

I got them done at a place called 'tintmyride'... crass I know, but they have done a very good job and you don't have to have any annoying brand labels on like 'custom tint'.
