heres some of mine back before i resprayed it;

 

[basemanuk]

what sort of price did you pay and did you get the front driver and passanger window done

 

[Faisal]

il be honest, they came with the car. but my mate got his done on his leon for £120 for all the windows. fronts are done but not as dark as the back (would be illegal)

Any tint on the front is illegal as the glass is tinted already.

 

[wilky87]

yup, just pay £30 everytime you get pulled, or dont tint the fronts

Any tint on the front is illegal as the glass is tinted already.

50% is allowed on fronts, so it all depends how tinted the standard glass is.

Anything less than 50% you'll get a £30 fine.
Less than 30% you'll also get 3 points

I think its 70% light they must let through at the front so a 30% tint.....which is basically standard?

no, its 50%

"The legal position is that the front side windows on all cars must allow 70% of light to pass through them. That figure also applies to the windscreens of cars first used before April 1985; any car first used from then onwards has to let 75% of light through the windscreen"

 

[LEE69]

no, its 50%

It's 70% not 50%

Like Adam said

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Yep and they already have a good tint so anything more than standard is going to be pushing it

According to VOSA it's 50%. Reason I know, is because I got a £30 fine from them last Thursday as my fronts only allow 47% through Nd the guy was very particular in his explanation. I'll get the pink slip later and tell you the exact laws as it says it all on it

On the VOSA site it says 70%?

Be interesting to see what they told you as its been 70% ever since I started driving and got pulled over

ditto /\ /\ /\ , if they said 50% you got spanked

 

[Faisal]

it definately is 70% light. i got pulled a few weeks back for mine. mine let 55% light pass through, and he said it must be 70%. if its not right, im going to be very pissed off.

ok off topic abit i surpose, is it worth just getting the back 5 windows done then!

any suggestions on the white alloys! can anyone do a photo shop for me if i post up a pic of the car
