Brand New Tonight!

[AK OK]

?
I went for 15% in the rear side windows and 30% ( darker ) on the rear windscreen.
Why ?.
Well I had my Gen1 model done from the “A” pillar back in the darker 30% which did a great job, but because the Gen1 had NO tint at all, when you looked at the car side on, the difference between the front side glass and rear side glass was extremely noticeable.
When it was raining ? it looked even more noticeable.
The new face lift has a very slight “tint” on delivery.
I wanted the tint to be more graduated on its side profile this time and therefore less severe.
The local tint guy I used, has been tinting windows for almost 20 years now.
He recommended I went for 30% but said that it WILL look more natural with a gradual tint increase, when looking at the car from the side view.
I trusted my gut reaction and went for 15% on the side glass and 30% on the rear screen.
I was really pleased with the result !.
The slow graduation looks brilliant.
If you go very dark on the rear side windows, especially on the Gen1 version, with glass being totally clear, it can give the visual impression of a “Cut & Shut” from the side profile ?.
My tint guy refuses to tint side glass from the “A” post forward.

Presume you mean B post ? as the only thing forward of the A post is the windscreen ?

Sorry - Type "O" error on my part.
Yes - "B" pilar back folks !.
I will correct

That'll look great! If you have a good result with the tints, please do share a company recommendation. I'm planning on tints too, & changing the aerial - I'm not a fan of the whip style.

Picked up my brand new ZS Trophy SR in Black tonight!
Fantastic!!!!

Enjoy! Got my black one two weeks ago, love it, added chrome sill guards, mud flaps and tinted windows, looks great

 

[StopBurningStuff]

Haha well black is my fave colour too. Behind the ZS is my old car Mokka, will be going soon to its new owner.
I am planning to have my rear windows tinted at 20%, install glossy shark fin aerial and wind deflectors very soon.

I just had my 2nd hand ZSEV tinted by www.tintwise.co.uk - privacy tint level on the rears and the minimum on the fronts. So much better now! cost £280 inc vat. Highly recommend.

That looks very spanky indeed. Is there any factory tint at all in any of the window glass?

Not quite sure but I read on the other thread that the Gen 1 ZS has not tint at all and the facelift version has a “very thin” tint.

NO - The Gen1 ZS EV is clear glass all round.
The Gen2 facelift model has a very slight factory tint to the glass.
I tinted both models but throttled back on the strength of the tint on the face lift, due to the factory tint.

Exactly the same model and colour as mine. Love it. Quick tip, add some sill protectors as you will scuff them with your feet and black shows up everything. We got a nice set on ebay

I've ordered ZS EV connect red on November 2021 and till now there is no news when I'm gonna get it first they told me march after April and May then July and now September MG is a real joke.

They've got great reviews on google. not sure how dark i'm gonna go but i'm thinking dark esp as the rear view mirror isnt auto dimming

This was a dealers ex showroom display car, I lucked out as a walk-in after checking MG stock finder. I had no idea there was such long wait times! If anyone is after a black MG5 (I know, wrong room!), they have stock in the Bath branch as of yesterday.

The way your lucky streak is running at the moment, I would strongly suggest you do the Lotto this weekend ?.
Car looks great OBTW !.
Enjoy.

Nice colour, is it a 'connect'?

Thanks, it was the red I was after so another lucky strike there. It’s not the connect unfortunately, but I was looking for an SE originally, so I’m happy with the standard Trophy
