Privacy Glass C63 Estate

[C63Bens]

Need to firm up my spec soon and am in two minds about ordering Privacy Glass - what do people think about it on a C63 Estate in Tenorite Grey?

Thanks

I ummed and arrred about getting this for my coupe and then came across a very good local place that does it too but for half the price. So I didn't order with my car and intended to do so once I got it... still not done it yet as not 100% certain it needs it.

I've got a 1 year old too and I may well still get it done for the summer months, but I do like the fact that I can see out of my rear winder especially for plod

Think it looks good on an estate and I was once 100% that my cars had to have it, but now not so sure....

Thanks Moff - Think that is what I will do. Have just spoken with a buyer from Synter and he said he would bid down slightly on a car with privacy glass, as they take longer to sell on - understated is best, were his words!

I think Privacy Glass really improves the look of the car. Obviously my opinion.

Good idea.

Pretty sure that it's more of an aftermarket tint that the dealers do anyway and not actual tinted glass.

I am waiting to see a white coupe with tints in the flesh to make a decision. Loads of very good independents that do tints and I was quoted £140 for a Coupe, likely to be more for the estate.

Since I only have the car for 2 years I am trying to limit the cost of aftermarket bits and bobs. I was 100% that I was going to visit the boys at DMS to get a quality remap, but think I will keep the £1000 in my pocket as it's bonkers anway

 

[C63Bens]

Moff, interesting as I was thinking about a DMS remit too... Do you have the LSD on yours?

 

[moff]

No LSD as unlikely to see the track and I was doing everything I could to keep from spending more on extras to save for fuel and tyres

I've got a friend who has a C63 PPP with a DMS remap too, a 530bhp snarling monster haha

I ditched the privacy glass when ordering my Tenorite Grey estate - too gangsta!

Saying that, the Mini has it and you do forget about it once inside the car but that may be because of the panoramic roof which lets in a lot of light.

worth checking the insurance difference, between factory fitted and after-market fitted.....

a must have for an estate IMO

I have it on mine as it was the wife's request (I wasn't for it originally). Now I have it, there's no way I'd be without the privacy glass. Well done, wifey

Too dark a body colour and too dark a tint and it gets a bit hearse like.

With Grey, you might get away with it.

I have it on mine and I'm pretty sure it's factory fit. I couldn't make my mind up either but saw it on a Palladium one and that made my mind up.



It looks darker in this photo than it is.

If it's factory fit it's on the datacard with a title and code number, as mine is.

Having the rear windscreen tinted when carrying something large in the load bay is essential for prying eyes avoidance. Estate specific obviously.

Looks even better on Silver!

Simon i tend to agree with you
my E350 came with it already in the spec
so i didnt have a choice

but for the OP this will look similar

Hey Kal, you got any pics you can post?

I prefer not having the window tinting mainly because I found it makes the rear passengers easier to get motion sickness, secondly I think it looks slgitly nicer without. but if you need it for sunlight protection, then definitely go for it.
