Sun Protection Glass

Hi All

I planned to specify sun protection glass on my new order but after some research have found I can save e300 if I get an aftermarket tint. Don't know too much aabout this area so wondered if any forum members have good/bad experiences of aftermarket tints. Can the film be scratched fromm the inside. There is a long established firm in Dublin offering to tint rear side and rear screen for e189 with a lifetime guarantee??

Also, have any members taken delivery of a titamium silver F10. I'm torn between this and Space Grey both with shadowline. I've seen some space greys on the road and they look great. I always liked the titamium silver e60 with shadowline (especially the MSport) but need to see an F10 in the flesh in this colour to make up my mind. Haven't seen qany F10s in Ireland yet with shadowline. Would love to hear feedback from any membver with a tit.sil. car.

Hi, I had the same dilemma about the glass in the end I decided to specify on the car at order for the simple reason that factory installed is smoked glass and not film. This lies a little better with insurers also.

My sunroof is being tinted right now! I debated on tinting the sunroof or not, but in the end, I like to be able to keep the sun shade open without so much heat coming in. I'm getting 15% on the sunrooof.
