window tints for my triumph 2000. the rules?
can someone please tell me what tints i can have on my Triumph 2000?
Ive never really looked into this sort of thing before and dont know what you can tint.
i understand you cant tint the windscreen. can you tint the rear screen?
i only want a really light tint in these windows, what sort of tint is available?
cheers

Don't know the rules, but surely "a really light tint" is fine everywhere? It's the stuff that screws up your visibility at night / in tunnels that's the prob. I'd have thought.

The legal position is that the front side windows on all cars must allow 70% of light to pass through them. That figure also applies to the windscreens of cars first used before April 1985; any car first used from then onwards has to let 75% of light through the windscreen.

Poor guy - whats happened to your GT6?
Or is this off road having the engine work\supercharging you were on about?
Did you get it repaired to your satisfation after the bump it had oop rear? - may have done you a favour in the end? half restored at someone else's cost....
ps - I'll second the 'you dont pimp a classic' - if you can call a Triumph 2000 classic.......its just wrong.

Note that the 70% VLT rule is total and cumulative, so if your car already has Sundym glass or similar fitted to the front sides, which would probably be around 20% tint, then you would only be allowed a further 10% tint before it is illegal 
, just asking.

Would look good with some two tone chome/black Halibrand replicas 
Slightly smaller/narrower at front and bigger at back
Oh, and get all the chome fittings re-chomed in black chrome (like the ST24 wheels)
