WWW.TINTR.CO.UK - Richard is based in Nottingham, he charges approx £175 a car and uses top Llumar window film, its quality. Ive had mine done over two years now and its still MINT! He'll do whatever shade you want and where you want it too.

There was talk of an accurate device used to measure the light getting through so probably to the % accurate...
Not sure on the penalties, a fine i should imagine but there was some talk of not letting you move your car at all an having to get it towed, dunno whether that was for repeat 'offenders' tho...

some traffic police cars have light meters to test your tints they are few and far between tho u can only get a fine and u wont get towed if you remove the front tints there and then as there the only 1s that are illegal to have darker than 35%
