why have hassle of driving round with the window open. just go for 30% tint on the front and a darker on the rear. Will give the illusion that the fronts are darker than they are and they'll still be legal.

can't wait to get time to take the tints off the bm.

If you look at all Subaru window glass It has an etching on it ( Bottom corner ) , Cannot for the life of me think what it is maybe A4 ??

This means that the glass that when processed @ the manufacturing stage had a tint added to the glass & any other third party window tint that you add to it is in turn breaking the law so be careful

Saying that ...

I Have run with light tints on my two front windows with no pulls to date , On the other hand i feel i would not want anything nothing darker than a light tint on the fronts , Nothing like the tints shown @ the start of this thread

The owners visibility must drastically be reduced during night driving conditions to say the least , if this driver was in turn to pull out & knock off & injure a member of my family i would not be happy , so you can see why the police enforce this law

What Tiny is trying to say is that when you get to our age your eye's are not what they we're

I've got slightly darker tints on mine & have to agree with Slim when driving at night, when turning right I have to sometimes lean forword or open the window. I am thinking of taking them off.

I got pulled by VOSA a few years back in Essex and i only had light tints on the front, they measured them and it was a fail so i just ripped them off there and then, asked the bloke about it and he said cars that come from the factory with tinted glass are just under the legal limit (can't remember the %) had the tints on for 2 years so didn't too bad

Just remembered that was just after i got done on the M25 for ***mph coming back from Southend so 3 years ago, doesn't time fly
