Class One Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Mine came with tints, don't know what they used but you can see the join and they did the back window in one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I've got light front and medium backs.. I think they are fine.. I wouldn't want any darker on the fronts because when its dark and rainy its a little darker than normal. I've only been pulled over once with them done - but told the policeman his windows were darker than mine so he let me go :-) Heres some pics for you :-) http://www.tripkings.co.uk/images/supe1.jpg http://www.tripkings.co.uk/images/supe2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Mine came with tints, don't know what they used but you can see the join and they did the back window in one piece. have yours been removed then? I thought tints on the front sides were a no-no? just curious as you're part of the country's constabulary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 mine cost me £250 and they removed the door trims etc... aparently they won't smash if you try to get in from the outside :-) They will just break and you'll need to hit them "a lot" to actually get the window to fall out or to make a hole. The chap showed me a demonstration with a piece of glass he had... And he hit it about 8 times full on with a hammer and he couldn't make a hole in it.. Well impressed for security Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 As long as they allow 70% of light in on the sides they're legal and 75% on the windscreen for vehicles 1st used on or after 1st April 1985. See here. However its not tested as part of the mot, but I know VOSA carry a chart to compare your window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However its not tested as part of the mot, but I know VOSA carry a chart to compare your window. sorry if it sounded like i was getting at you, far from it. the reason i asked is that i'm thinking of getting the darker tints from the rear of mine removed and just going for a light smoke all round. it looks like the fronts on yours are even darker than light smoke so i reckon i'd get away with it?

captainchaos Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 ill have to get some pics of mine up see what you lot think of them, still not too sure on them with it being silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 just a word or warning, your front windows are tinted as standard, around 18%-25% so putting a light smoke (30%) will take you over the lagal limit. I am unfortunately living proof of the law. 3 points, £60 fine and having to remove them at the side of the road in the pissing rain at 1.30 in the morning. This was on my old car, but then the silver part only allowed something like 3% in....ooops http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/6186/img0160size7cm.th.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARTIN R Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 My rear window was tinted on arrival from Japan as already said ,makes reversing a bigger challenge:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 so you would think that Doug's side windows would be way over the limit then? Most cirtainly. However some forces are not anal about it unlike here in essex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 I've got no idea how dark mine are tbh, but they've never attracted any unwanted attention. And what I meant to say in my 1st post is that you CAN'T see any join on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class One Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 And you being old bill will help..... I can assure you it wouldn't. Nothing delights a Traffic Officer more than to stick another Officer on. TBH if I got stopped I would keep quiet about what I do and see how it pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchaos Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 had the fronts in for a week or so now drove past plenty of police and never had any probs (just cursed myself now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
