Afternoon All,

I'm right on the verge of placing my order but dont know whether or not to go for the privacy glass...  Can anyone perhaps post a pic of their i30 with the uk factory fit privacy glass?  or a link to some online images..

Many Many Thanks in advance!
Dan

None of the i30's I've seen "on the road" have such tint.

The reason being, I haven't seen any i30's on the road, sorry  8-)

Hi Dan,
I'm don't know what the tinting rules are in the UK but in some parts of Oz only the rear windows are allowed to be tinted (South Australia) - or maybe that's changed.  You specify the darkness of the tint but of course it's hard to make a choice if you don't have examples of "how dark " in front of you.  It's also best to also get a tint film with high metal content - it supposedly reflects more light and heat. I've ordered darkest legal tint on my upcoming i30, but although it's a ''factory'' option, they still go through a third party to get it done and then charge you a couple of hundred more.
