well the back windows and rear windscreen can be midnight black, however the driver and passenger side windows cant be midnight black. also mate doing it yourself will probly make it look shit, getting it professionally done willl look so much better and its around £200!

I believe the legal limit for the front 2 windows is 35% light getting through.

There is also another law stating that only Vauxhall Nova's are allowed to be DIY-tinted with Halfords tinting films, for reasons of taste
