looking good kurt, very nice indeed.

Andy - no tints are legal, any tint film on the front windows is banned totally. I have been fined twice and im thinking about taking them off the front when i get my retrim. Heres the offical thing:

because they look good i think, despite being told they r illegal and also being there when me and huw got fined.

Manufacturers do not use window tint FILM. The actual glass is tinted on new vehicles. Take for example my corsa C, my windows are factory tinted as stanard, but the actual glass is tinted and there was on film on the window.

Also, the factory tint on the windows lets 70% VLT through and therefore is perfectly legal and the windscreen lets through 75% VLT (i know this because the copper tested it)

But if it's deemed as not a danger then it's ok dude. Limo tints are blatenly (sp?) banned, but only if they are being arses will they do you for light tinits.
