Window tinting

Hello,

I know not many of you are thinking about getting your cars windows tinted at this time of year, but this family run business in Eye, Suffolk does an excellent job, they also install car audio and provide car services, welding, exhausts, batteries etc.

Check out the website below

www.dsamotorwerks.co.uk

Also they have a special offer on at the moment of 20% off the normal labour price (£24 instead of £30 per hour)

Most cars from the 80s onwards have the windows tinted to the maximum on the windscreen and side windows from the factory.

So the picture on the window tinters website of a tinted skyline is illegal to be used on the road.
