Default Ceramic window tinting, UK.

I have no A/C, sometimes we have summer, a rather random occurrence in the UK, todays one of those days.
I've explored tinting, not in the conventional Saxo scene, but to protect the inside, and act as heat rejection. Huper Optik rate quite highly, but I cant find any installers local to me here in Colchester way, so does anyone know of anything comparable, that I can use/install etc.

thanks.

Llumar and 3M do similar products, they all sound very interesting from the heat rejection standpoint. Would be interested to know the cost and effectiveness of the products. I wonder also if the front side windows and front screen can be done as I think there is a law in the UK saying no tint forward of the B pillar.

Law says, 70% side windows past B pillar, think from memory something like 75% pass on the front.

I'm interested in the ceramic as it wont affect radio performance as well as the heat rejection.

Going to look at a very light smoke, to match the classic and light grey interior, but without A/C and in a Summer (UK joke) it quite warm in the old girl.

The Llumar Air 80 seems to be available in the UK and covers the legal requirements. I would be interested to know the cost of application.

Aren't there clear ceramics which would let you have it without tinting?
