Default Can someone please, smoke my windows

On going disagreement with Tints. Loads say the windows are tinted, yet, I can't see it

Can anyone, please smoke the windows, as that is what I want. I can print off the pics and tell them either do it or shove it. Thanks xx








Excuse the dog, he is always in the way

Don't want to be illegal, but I do think he will look better with tints. I thank you

You do already have a small % of tint on there. All scoobs do. The trick is getting someone to apply a tint and still stay within the legal limit on anything forward of the B Pillar. Behind the B Pillar you can have what you want, even limo black (even though it looks pants )

I suggest if you want tints, then you get a lighter percentage on the front windows and either stay within the legal limit or do what I did and just borderline the limit. That way you get the tints you want, but are less likely to be pulled by the plod.

Your local tinting place can advise.

Here is a rough idea what a subtle tint can look like

Before

After

Thanks, Chris

I've been chuntering on about this for weeks. I don't really want the obvious darker back and lighter front.

I really wanted "smoked" all round. Have spoke to a few places and they all say it will be borderline

It is borderline because when you combine the factory tint and a aftermarket tint it can push you over the limit. Hence why I had my rear window and rear side windows done a slight darker tint with just a subtle tint on the front windows. That way it looks uniform and just slightly dodgy but not obvious that you would get nicked by some **** copper.

Do the outside world a favour and have limo tints the whole way round, even on the windscreen!
