Nice, what % on the sides?
 
50% Front Doors, 20% ( Privacy) Rear Doors/Rear Window..
 
Nice job.:thumb:
I bought mine with tints already done. but I think the fronts are going to have to be changed at some point. They're too dark.

That looks really nice mate, but as you say....those fronts are defo e-legal.....

Mine are `technically illegal` but prob get away with it.....
 
A company called Cool Tints in Manchester. They`re on facebook . Really nice guy that does it, quality job too.
 
Looks spot on, although illegal I doubt you will get pulled over, the coppers will think its OEM they only ever seem to pull over corsa's and clio's with 0% all over ha.
 
ime afraid you have shot yourself in the foot mate
in the event of a accident your insurance company will not cover you due the reduction in visibility and at mot time they can quite rightly fail the car
dont get me wrong ive had it on prev cars and never had an issue but the law is a lot more stringent about this now and there was a case where a driver pulled out and caused an accident and the insurance company washed their hands of him
 
no tint at all is allowed on windows forward of the pillar other than manufacturer fitted tinted window
 
Legally you can tint up to 70% on the fronts , thats why some people go to 50% as it looks , from the naked eye , roughly the same . But i get your comments re : insurance ...

Yes you can go to 70% on the fronts, however most standard glass (manufacturer fitted tinted glass) is around 73 - 78% so any added tint renders them illegal.
 
You can go to a max limit of 70% light let in yes, not a max tint of 70% where only 30% light let in.

Yes the figures i am quoting are ' light in ' ...
 
This has now taken the fun out of it for me , i may go and strip the fronts back !
Ggrrrrrrrrrr......
