A few of us are having the "pimp" makeover in the next few days...and I thought it would be useful to get some ideas on the % I want !!! Can you post pics showing your tints, BUT also confirm the % (Back, rear door, frnt door). Much appreciated.

This 4 some reason is a taboo subject.........
whenever the question is asked,it is ignored,
Maybe the peeps simply dont know
by the way wots the going rate for fitting 4 drop glass,and a rear screen?

Don't forget the filth now have %age light gauges in the cars with them, so they can do you if its too low. Check out the max allowed %age first if i were you.

On mine its a 30%

ScoobyK

Yoza, I know what you mean However, Sammy has confirmed 30%, and Trouser's is 50% rear and 35% sides - all within the legal limits I believe (unless someone can correct me ?).

Cost, well there's a few of us having it done, and we've got a price of £220 - and they are coming to us.

IIRC UK law currently states that the driver and front passenger windows can only be treated with a light tint(upto 35%). The back windows can be treated with any shade. The front windscreen must be free of any shading, apart from a 6" strip across the top

yoza

Thankyou,
mines goin to be the same a Sammys,seeing as tho I buy all his unwanted bitz,may as well copy that 2

Hi Guys,

I paid £250 and the back screen was fitted in 1 piece (not spliced). Would post a pic but I haven't got one yet.

Not got a picture, but 35% is the legal limit for side windows level with the driver. No aftermarket tint is allowed on the windscreen. Behind the driver doesn't matter - you can paint them if you like.....

35% is quite light - you can see straight through it.

IMHO it looks sh1te if the windows are different shades so I went for 25% all round.

Trouser @TSL

hi peeps

35% front as per regs.. rear drop glasses to match

then 50% on rear.. Makes the whole lot look much darker than it actually is.. old tinters trick apparently!



Cheers

I can't believe how much Trouser's car looks like a model car. If I hadn't seen it for real I still wouldn't believe it

We have recently had our front windows tinted on the Type R, and can confirm the following.

The legal limit for the front windows is 35%, wheras the rear sides or rear window legal limit is 23%.

The Type R's have 23% rear and rear side tints.

ScoobyK

Thanks for all the help guys, went for 35% sides with 23% back...and as Trouser says, makes the rest look darker

Is there some confustion here?

I've just had JDM rear quarters and rear window fitted to my CTR which all have a 50% tint (even a sticker to say so). Before I did it I checked with the local police. They told me that as long as the driver and passenger door mirrors are no higher than 35% that's fine.

If you think about it, how would a van based on a car work otherwise as the windows in that case have been totally removed. Also there is no actual requirement to see out of the rear window (again see some vans).

does anyone know what % of tints allows the drive to see out of at night but still shade you in the day?
