Who you going to get them done by ?

Car2Tint in Huntingdon Cambs is very good and is excellent unlike the other monkeys around!

 

was thinking there or the place in eye, pssc?

 

pccs are good ...but id buy my BOV!!!! lol

 

My black blobeye with tints :

 

do you know what grade yours were??

 

When I had them fitted the guy told me he would only fit 'legal' tints i.e 30% (lets 70% light through). I wanted them slightly darker at the time, but the guy made a big thing about it and said he would get in trouble if I got caught . However my brother got stopped a few months back (he has the same tints) by Mr Plod who happened to have a measuring device of some kind. He had to remove his fronts at the roadside (it was borderline I think tho but I wasn't there). I prefer the same tint all the way round, others prefer the backs to be darker.

The short answer is I don't know the grade now .

 

Medium tint on rear and rear sides.

 

no tints are going to be legal on the front. i'd go for a medium

 

The guy that did mine said he'd never to fronts, as said above, its not allowed. And he even said that sun strips on front are only allowed to be 6 inches deep now.

 

Yes, dont go too dark, it will look chavtastic...................






I wouldnt pay more than £80, but that was done by a freind of a freind

Just to clarify, when I said fronts (plural i.e. meaning more than one) I was refering to the front driver and passenger windows not the windscreen. My front windscreen isn't tinted which seems to be suggested below . Sorry if I've misread your post.

 

cheers for the pics and advice guys

 

[quote=dave_garrett;8852907][quote]no tints are going to be legal on the front. i was'nt suggesting your windsreen was tinted that would definatly not be legal. there is already a slight tint on the factory supplied glass and anything else put on top even light tint would not be legal and fail a test, this only goes for the front windows the rears can be tinted as much as you like

 

reason why people wont do the fronts, is because believe it or not the standard glass is already 10-20% tinted (that green ish colour) so when u add another 30% or even 20% tint its goes beyond the allowed 20% and plod tells you to take them off...

 

hi mate ive had tints a few times on my cars at the moment i aint got, but legal is 30% . you want dark smoke on all off rear, then the front 2, light smoke which is slghtly darker than 30, bout 40% look great then. YES i went to pccs peterborough,they will put darker tints on front, car2tint,huntingdon, wont.

Here are mine

 

I think the tint is Midnight Express... or maybe just one shade darker. Umah

 

only pic i have of my car at the moment as i only bought it on Saturday. only the rear doors and rear screen done. The rear screen is a lighter shade that the doors. one thing i did notice yesterday while it was hot and sunny was how cool the car stayed inside.
