The cabin feels a lot cooler when its sunny. Before i found when the sun was out i got pretty hot even though the aircon is amazing. Dont know why as i thought it wouldnt be much different from a classic cabin as to glass angle etc. but defo warmer before tints.

I got fined £30 for having 30% tints on the side, but had them for 3 years before i got into any trouble, it was right outside work so everyone came out to have a good nosey, it was really quite embarrassing.

Suppose it depends on how the copper feels on the day, cos i thought the darkest you could legally go was 30% (meaning they let in 70% light) but they were tested and failed

didnt take em out tho

Totally useless, but it will keep the inside of your car free of broken glass when they pry the window open.

Watch out in Essex, the traffic guys have light meters and do use them!
Any front tint will get you in trouble.

I got a bollocking a few months back for talking on the phone. (i know, i don't normally, stupid!)

They didn't mention anything about the tints. So i guess Pentagon light smoke is light enough...
