wrong

75% of light must pass though the side windows (being the drivers and passenger door)

no tint allowed on the front windscreen, except factory (also note what factory tintsare on the side windows)

from the B piller (from the door handles on the front doors back) you can have as dark as u like

i always thought it was..

Windscreen - 75% light through
Front sides - 70% light through
Rears - As dark as you wish.

Almost certain this is correct.

front side window tints are illegal for safety reasons, if your widows are tinted your vision through them is decreased and this could cause a crash
thats why they are illegal


if you dont beleive me
ask ur local bobby or your local car tinting place

Corsa fronts windows allow 72.8% light through so there for are allowed a 2.8% tint to the front windows which would make no difference!

Just tint the fronts and don't get pulled
