RE: Privacy Glass

Plus point is that it looks a tad bit sportier, hence no need to enhance the car in the looks department.
Its helped me lot in storing my briefcase and laptop in the back seat in the confidence that prying eyes would not be able to see into the car.
The advantage is that, you never know when you might get lucky to have a quick one with your other half when the need may arise... Not for those with clip-on sunglasses! Smile

Got mine : Dynamic Fuji White with Lux Pack and black contrast roof.
Optional extras : Privacy glass, Heated steering wheel and TPMS.
Me: Very HappyVery Happy

RE: Privacy Glass

Privacy looks wrong cause half the side windows dont have it, always reminds me of my transit van! if all the side windows had it it would look right with black contrast roof but since thats illegal, half a job, no thanks! And I dont wear clip on sunglasses or sandals before you ask! Laughing

Much as I might have liked it, the privacy is a half baked option because of the law. Overall better without it and I now don't think about it until this thread pops up!

I have clip ons. They are easier to find a bit of space for in the storage challenged interiorLaughing......oh and sandals too. No socks though!

RE: Privacy Glass

For me the Coupe looks far better with the privacy glass, it gives the rear windows a larger appearance and gives the whole car an even classier finish accentuating the sloping roof line. One thought tho, save yourself a lot of cash by doing it post delivery rather than paying the overpriced LR option price, the look is exactly the same to me.

On order: Volvo XC60 T5 Inscription Pro


Current: Porsche Macan, Pebble Interior, Volcano Grey, Bose, other extras which cost lots and should be standard

LR uses tinted glass, not film, with the antenna wires bonded to it which is why it is quite expensive. Aftermarket film never goods as good as there is no way the fitters can get the smooth finish over the antennae wires that bonding them to the glass has. And tinted glass doesn't peel off at the corners or get air bubbles in it in cold weather.
One thing with the Evoque privacy (film or tinted glass) is the tailgate doesn't look as good as it does on the FFRR and the RRS where having privacy tints on their upper tailgate makes it look like the cars have a sheet of glass / they are frameless for the upper tailgate whereas in reality they have a frame that is behind the glass which is very visible on cars without privacy film or tinted glass

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
