Ok so not really Blinged up but I am toying with the idea of getting the windows tinted.

On the plus side.
Being a black car I think it would look good. Limo tint on the tailgate window, slightly lighter on the quarter windows with a very light tint on the front.
I have some money burning a hole in my pocket.
I have a guy that will do excellent work pretty cheaply.

On the negitive side.
The car is original in everyway and this may distract from it.
My head is always being turned by different cars so how long will I keep this one?

And while we're at it, should I get a Private no plate? More to make the car ageless than anything else.

Tinting helps keep out heat as well.

But private plates aren't well-liked by some here...

Get the plate. It's not worth doing the windows unless they are the same all round. Looks odd with darker rears and clearer fronts.

I know it's the law, but that doesn't mean it doesn't look shit!

Do windows (subtlely) but leave the plate.

I'd say the reverse - don't do the windows, but a private plate would be OK as long as it wasn't one that was misspaced or trying too hard.

Each to their own, of course!

Do both. I think pimping the Pussy subtley will look fine.

On another note, my mates Pussy broke the otherday. His cambelt went at 66K.
