Hi guys,
Looking at replacing the rear windows with panels and really like the look of chequer plate. Does anyone know anybody that cuts the plates to the size of the windows rather than me having to cut it myself or does anyone have any other solution for the panels that again doesn't include me having to cut the panels myself? I've looked at window tinting but the company's near me are asking around £200.
Thanks

If you are absolutely definitely certainly sure that you want to do this don't. I have full opaque film in the back of Dreadnaught and it is a monumental pain in the bum. Oblique junctions are a life in your hands experience and reverse out of anything into any kind of traffic is an exercise in using The Force. I have had to put up with it for 9 years now as part of Dreadnaught actually being a real van instead of a passenger car with covered windows and it is truly hateful.

I'm with Lambert on this.
I have a convertible and that is a nightmare at junctions even with its small triangular window which isn't a huge help. Go for tints
