Smart. Are they the film or replacement glass?

Film - you can tell by the edges.

Some companys put glue on this area to stop you having the "aftermarket look"

Looks cool Cool

I cant see any edges. Looks pukka to me, I would say about the same darkness as mine looking at that. Thumbs Up

Is this the white line about 4" from the edge?

I get it now. So it's a bit of black cling film, pressed air tight against the glass. Where's my permanent marker.....I'm off to the kitchen.......

Nothing to worry about mate - it's just hard to do aftermarket tints without the line - some can do it without but most can't.

the 'line' is on factory privacy too it just very hard to see, its where the door frame ends and the window starts, the glass being much bigger than the opening. its a series of goldish dots. factory privacy hides the dots film doesnt... same as the filaments for rear screen and aerials ...no big deal but factory does look neater At work

its film,and like i said ,"the jobs a good un",done by blackwood sunroofs & stripes, be around for years,they done my old fl2 but through stratstone,so thats why i went to them direct rather than them making more £s on the deal,as privacy glass was a 12 week wait Big Cry factory order,cost £330,but i know its better than film but couldnt wait that long.if u have it done through stratstone its £275 plus vat,so a good saving buy going direct,i payed £230 inc vat. Razz when u look inside a the glass u cant see the film ending,as if they took the windows out put the film on then put them back in again Confused the tint i picked,you have a choice of 4 is the 2nd one down,1st one being limo. pick the one the dealers fit ...2 nd one down,..for the record my new fl2 was bought off likes brecon,as pratstone were hopeless and had problems with them.

I'm surprised no body has commented how naff the light covers look as that is what they said about mine except they aren't naff of course.
Tints look good by the way. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.
