yup they are illegal. i locked my car up till the vosa had left before driving it home so i didnt get stopped.
While i was there i spoke to them the next day i went to the police station to see what there take was on if i refused to take them off had i been pulled.
The end of the day i might have them (well had) but i was aware that if i was stopped id have to take them off.

Motor Vehicles first used before 1 April 1985:
The windscreen and front side windows must allow at least 70% of
light to be transmitted through them.
Motor Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985:
The light transmitted through the windscreen must be at least 75%.
The front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to be
transmitted through them.
If the glass is tinted to a point whereby it lets through less light,
then the vehicle does not meet legal requirements"
dave that only mentions the MINIMUM amount of light allowed to pass through, nothing about 100% of light, ie, no tint at all...
I see. 
I still dont think you get 100% no tint, is it not a saftey standard that glass has a slight tint.
safety against what  its no different to looking out your bedroom window
its different glass. heat etc getting in, vision etc.

as i said before the police have to have vosa present to do anything. Yes you are allowed tint on the front IF it doesnt take you over the limit. your just not getting that ANY tint will take the front over the limit

thank fcuk for that 
you are correct Sam, its not technically illegal to have tints (yet) UNLESS they take the combined amount of tint over the limit (incuding the manufacturers tint)
so considering ALL lupos had factory tinted glass, it will go over the limit...

All i was trying to say was its not completly legal to have ur windows tinted untill it goes under the percentage ur allowed thats the point i was trying to put accross so therefore if ur windows r at the right percentage they are alrite!

If you're going to say something, back it up. You can't have an 8 page argument based on what you think is the case.
