[quote="James B"]they have accepted full liability for the damage and I’m to get some quotes for the repair. quote]
Kinghorn Body Shop in Blackburn are the local LR approved repairer (T&C send their bodyshop work there) and my experience is they are very efficient.

Thanks guys. I know Kevin there very well having let them loose on the restoration of my 911.
They also had my D3 there just 4 weeks ago. I'm seeing them on Sat morning for a quote.
I've also just had a proper look at the job done to my car and have had a lengthy and difficult (for them!) discussion with AutoWindscreens customer service dept. I'll post pics in the morning but you'll be horrified to see the shambles of a job they've made. This is going to need new interior panels too! I know Kinghorn will get it looking great but it's just so gutting that the car is so new to me!!!
Oh and the final straw is the rattling bootlid. There must be 30 chunks of glass still in it and every time it's opened or closed you hear them all moving. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!! 59 D4 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Stornoway Grey - New addition!

The pics;
Oh?....glass...this was meant to be clean enough that I could have passengers...This doesn't bode well

All glass cleared up with 10 mins of hoover action. Can't believe they didn't bother to lift the boot floor flap to clean under it!
My spotless car is no longer 
They even pulled my numberplates off the car so they could squeeze some glass in there... 
And now the interior trim;
Hang on a second....I don't remember that piece of trim being so far from the boot panel....
Oh you have got to be  kidding me!!
Oh and on top of it all I found a large ball bearing in the car, confirming that this wasn't just a stone from a passing gritter but an act of mindless vandalism presumably with a catapault. Police have been updated.
Still, it's so nice to have the Disco back. I have been driving my brother's 996 C4 for the last week and whilst it's fun it's not got the comfort of the Disco and as my drive in the morning is 4 miles in town I really don't need it's performance!

Looks absolutely fantastic (despite the attempts of Autowindscreens).
What percentage of tint did you go for?

Thanks for the comments folks.
On my D3 with black interior I used Smoke on the rear and Light Smoke on the front.
With the D4's lighter interior the Smoke that was used on the rear was too transparent so I decided Dark Smoke was the way to go and stuck with Light Smoke on the front. Not sure what the grading is on the rear tint film but the front is 55%.
Cheers
