Looking good Wayne. Those tints have got to be illegal??

[wheelmanwayne]

nope not according to pc taylor a traffic cop that has a drink in my moms bar! he has done that tint tester fingy ma jiggy and it reads that 71.4% of light travels through the tint! so only just legal but legal none the less!

edit the rears only let 24.2% of light through though

Ha, lucky you. I thought the front had to let 75% of the light through? But anyways this topic is about your car, not window tints lol. Looks cool as. I'm jealous.

[wheelmanwayne]

No its 70% for side windows! ive just found this on vosa's website and they set the rules and supply the measuring equipment


Read below


Stopping drivers
Both the police and VOSA are now stopping
vehicles with tinted windows and checking the
Visual Light Transmission (VLT) through
windscreens and side windows. If the light
getting through is less than is legally required,
the driver may be prohibited from using the
vehicle until the tint is removed. Motorists who
don’t rectify the problem may be prosecuted.

The legal limits for window tinting are a
minimum of:
● 70 per cent VLT for side windows
● 75 per cent VLT for windscreens on
vehicles first used after April 1985 and
70 per cent VLT for those first used prior
to that date.
VOSA Enforcement Examiners will normally
remove prohibitions of this nature at Goods
Vehicle Test Stations by prior arrangement
with the owner. This is a departure from the
normal clearance procedure of putting
vehicles through an MOT.
