Tinted glass

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Its funny you should post about tinted windows. A few weeks ago I was pondering whether I should get mine tinted. I was thinking more that it might stop so much glare from low sun and I hear rumors that they have a cooling effect, not quite sure how but anything to help the lack of air con. Not forgetting that with the emerald green paintwork I think it would look cooler than a polar bear's toes 8-)

You can't tint the windscreen or front side windows, so how will it stop sun glare for you as a driver.

Going by the diagram it seems to include front side windows?

Rob, did you email the seller to ask if they did the estate version, I've come across items on ebay where estate isn't listed (my boot liner for example) but after emailing often the reply would be that they do have an estate version.

Not convinced it'd look cool though!

I didn't contact them.

Seeing these for sale made me smile, so I thought I would share. :)
