Can you still see through the blinds at all?

sorry guys not seen these on a car before...

I have now decided to keep my car so am getting it resprayed, apart from the roof at the end of the summer holidays and to complement the new bodykit wheels etc I think I will go for tinting. I reckon I can get away with a light smoke on the front windows without attracting too much attenetion. A load of peeps I know in other cars have managed to get away with it so we shall see!

Very interested in the usb thingymajigbobby that steve has linked to, will be investing once he has got it working!

Would it be possible to have the volume still working the headunit and the others moving on track etc?

Not too pricy either which is good, thanks steve

Do keep informed as to your progress, will be tres cool if this can be integrated with centrafuse or road runner (still can't decide which I like best!)

As they say in the Leaflet (Subject to Alteration)

I have gone the way of the AverKey Lite (AverMedia QuickPlay in the USA)

I have also replaced my original Morex 60w PSU and ITuner ITPS with the "All-In-One" Morex M1-ATX 90w PSU/Controller.
It has cost me.......... but hear are the advantages:-
: No more fiddling with the twin display graphic driver mode ( thank God/Aver)
: No "out of range" problems with my VGA monitor
: I have been able to add a USB2 hub and power it from a 5V off the PSU
: I have been able to re-install my AverTV usb hardware ( that told me to sod off when I went "twin display mode" )
: I have been able to fully implement hibernation, with all the time saving and other advantages it gives.

Very Pleased now with the above

All I need now is a really good Car TV aerial....someone point me in the right direction in the UK

Wizz

PS: @Winx, @Stevieg. With all those screens now I'm definitely going to get tinted....no not me silly, the car. I'm staying sophisticated grey !

So I thought I'd go one stage further and get myself a removable sun shade for the car

And Finally, to compliment the sun visor, some nice tints to bring out the

in the VGA/RCA screens

See the start page for the "before" look.

Looking awesome Wizz!!! Is that "foil" covering the windows (I'm sure it's not, as it looks superb

?

If you mean "film", suprisingly it is ! But I had it done professionally and I think the Guy (who was also local, by the way) did a really good job

There is no way I could have afforded to replace all the glass with special tinted ones, but I am well pleased with the results, and it makes the video output on the screens look 100% better

PS: I think those cheap chrome spinners are the pits

I DID That's my way of agreeing with you

Now the very expensive, elaborate ones, and providing youv'e got a very expensive 4 track, now that is a different thing. But they would NOT look right on a Focus...would they

Henry Winx · 04-27-2005, 06:48 AM

looking good mate! One thing I would add to the rear is a smoother rear wiper arm, from a peugeot, a lot of people on the ffoc.co.uk forums have done this and I reckon it woould finish the back end nicely!

Would love to have my windows tinted again, but insurance say no

They're actually golden spinners...

(Andy's joke...

)

I'm tinting my car as well this week. I already have the back tinted, but I'll replace the film with a lighter shade one...I'll also do the front.
