Think it's moved down to 25% on the front now. Well copper did me for my 30% on my fiesta

Anything forward of the B pillar must allow 70% AVLT.
Factory glass is usually already 17-25% AVLT, so any additional tints on your front windows can very easily take you into legal levels

correct, and with police getting tougher on this its just not worth it.

my mate got pulled and the police scored his tints so made sure he would get them taken off properly, gave him a fine as it was his first offence but they can give points. you are not allowed tints at the front AT ALL now,remember standard glass has a tint and that is all that is allowed unfortunately, personally i would not touch the front, not worth the risk of getting points over something so silly!!

having the same grade all-round (30%) will naturally make the backs look a tad darker as less light is coming in through the rear window...but up to you if you wanna attract more attention

Once again these are for NI, I'm sure someone can confirm if same apply to the mainland

But between 10% and 30% AVLT is £60 EFPN and 3 points. Your car is also prohibited from movement until tints are removed...

Between 30% and 50%AVLT is £30 FPN no points and a defect notice to remove them within 14 days.

Less than 10% AVLT is prosecution through courts and prohibition!

i watched a women get knocked down and killled last year, right in front of my eyes, hit by a 40mph Discovery. at the inquest the guy driving stood there and listened as the police recalled how his windows were tinted beyond the legal limit, when they were trying to determine how he didn't see the women.

grim post, but give it a thought...
