Ordered Hsd

[zetor]

I finally decided to order a Auris HSD so went to the showroom yesterday, it will be in Pearl White with "Sol" pack, I think this is the same as the "T-Spirit" in the UK, I also had the rear windows tinted, delivery is Feb/March 2011, the only thing I am now a little worried about since ordering it is the tinted windows and how much visibility there is when say overtaking and such like, they will be 98% tint, anyone have any opinions on this? is 98% too much?

Tinting in the uk may be different from where you are, I think the uk maximum is 75percent?? But others on here will confirm that....

Good luck when you get it though

Maximum tint on driver and passenger windows in the UK is 35% (must let 75% light through).

Normally the scale goes like this (smalles number = darkest tint):

If you say you've got 98% tints I assume you're getting 2% tints. Quite dark. You won't see where are you reversing to at night. This car has 5% tint film all round:

Here you can see a 5% tint from the inside on a cloudy day. For comparsion windshield has 35% tint on it

I'd personally choose something between 35 and 50% :)

Thanks for the feedback and advice, the photo's were extremely helpful thanks,it's made my mind up that I have gone for way too dark windows and will call in the showroom tomorrow to ask them to be changed, I would agree somewhere in the 35-50% range would be much better.
