Rob, theyre the ones i got for my People carrier (Kia sedona) Pre-cut to shape, or so they said.... they were "almost" right, had to make a few adjustments to them to get the perfect finish, the 4 side windows went really well , although the boot window film came in 2 sections... . bloody nightmare to get matched up...... got it in the end though......... I went for dark smoke, and they look gr8! So come on siam...... go for it! you know you wanna!

@Jonny5,
any tips or things you'd do different this time?

ermmmmmmmmmm Its a NASTY job m8, id done it once about 6 years ago and forgotten just how hard it was... Just remember to use LOADS and LOADS of soapy water in a spray bottle.... Dont be afraid of getting the interior of the car wet, it will dry out. Also, if you are doing wind down side windows then its easier to remove the glass from the door, i know thats a load of work but it makes for better results, also get some CLEAR nail varnish, use that on the top of the film where it meets the top of the glass, that stops it from peeling when you close the window.... If ya need any more help, just ask m8y.

good luck
