***tint pic Request***

[LEON_FR]

Thinking of having the windows tinted on the Leon just wondered if anyone has a pic of one with them already done...pref in ovni but any will do.
Also anyone know the FACTS about tinting (is it legal or not...)
Cheers

Officially you cant have anything done to the front windows but... if your going to risk it I would keep it light.

Anything too dark looks cr@p IMO anyway, just a subtle tint looks sweet.

Yeah i want a "light smoke" (like you see on some Mercs n BMW's) so you can stil see in the car but wiv a very slight tint...
Just worried in 2 years time when it comes to MOT what will happen???

 

[sportbilly]

I dont think its an MOT thing as yet ... actually pretty sure it isnt.

i tend to think that the police are only going to pull you for this kind of thing if you sit in a superstore carpark of an evening and have " NOW THATS WOT I CALL TUNES FOR CHAVS " blaring out of your 56 inch sub, doing burnouts and donuts whilst making roach material for your huge spliff out of last months MAX WA**ER magazine :w4nk:. i had the windows on my ibiza tinted and they weren't light smoke and i never had so much as a second glance from the police . go for the light smoke mate, it'll look nice and subtle, yellow really suits the tints, my ibiza was bengal yellow so i speak from experience as well.

I should be alrite then!
Had a quote for £190 i thought that was good but then again i aint done anymore quotes...seen this guys work on my mates 206 and hes good.
£190 sound about rite?

 

[jamie paton]

yeah i would think thats about right mate, although what do i know eh, somebody else'll probably say thats extortionate

i think the standard glass to about as tinted as you can go. so any more tinting will be illegal.

however you can tint the rear window and read windows as much as you like. theses are not covered. (basically you are ok as you would be no worse than a van).
i believe you need to be able to use 2 out of 3 mirrors to be legal. ie 2 out of two wing mirrors and rear view.
and so thus the front windows cant be tinted legally.

 

[jamie paton]

not legal, however copying from a cd isn't legal either but everyone does it, like i said i never once had any problems with mine.

Ill 2nd that i had a mk2 ibiza in bengal yellow and it looked so much better with the tints! Really sets it off!

Well i payed 150quid for tints all round on mine but this was from a one man band running his bussiness from another persons bussiness if you get what i mean..., but i have a friend that has a civic type r and hes just payed 175quid for the rear window and the 2 rear quater lights. Hope his helps.

Hello! Here are my 38% all around tinted windows. I'm very pleased with them, from the out side they look alot more tinted then they realy are, from the inside the visibility is very good an all wheather condition and at night. I'l post a picture from the inside when I'l have one. Hope to be helpfull. The film is Lumar

 

[tris]

look at my sig i think they are 65% all round

Haven't got an Ovni but had some tints done on my Leon here

The law is that the front windows should allow 75% of light through, this is from 2004. Though many tints allow much less light through, depends how subtle it looks..I haven't been stopped yet.

Mine cost £150 ish.

30% Front and 15% Back or 30% Front and 20% Back, any last minuit advice will help Thanks

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

seem to be resurecting really old threads here , have you searched peoples readers rides

also worth checking if peaople are quoting % as in letting light in or blocking light a very confusing area

 

[Faisal]

you can get legal tints for the front, but they are only allowed to be 25%, meaning 75% of light must pass through.

the back can be as dark as you like.

iv got 55% on the front and 90% on the back.

here it is when it was onvi:

 

[litcan91]

Thanks Faisal, looks the business Have got mine done today 30% on front and 15% on the back i think that is 70% and 85%... Thanks for everyones responses
