Hi all,

Dunno what to do, been quoted £200 all in for tints, windows out proper job etc (is that good?) no idea on legalities involving tint either is it more hassle than worth!

anyway what do people think to light smoke, please vote now

I'll be getting mine tinted - My favourites are the ones on M Suttons Corsa, but they got taken off.

Otherwise the sport window glass could look pretty cool.

The standard manufacturers tints are the legal amount........so leave the fronts unless you want trouble of the cops.......and possibly mot failure...

You wud fail your mot if you go for darker front tints, and the cops can tell you to rip them off but you are allowed three warnings b4 they can prosecute. Thats in Northern Ireland anyway.
