my fronts don't look that dark and they're branded tinted! But yeah, if factory 10% then can only have 5-10.

yeh, to be honest 5-10% probably won't matter that much.

If you got stopped and the police said anything about them, I imagine if you just kicked up a fuss and preached aload of B/S like 'I've gone into alot of effort to get them under the legal limit, I've had light percentage tests etc etc' they'd probably just drop it.

No one can notice 5-10% with the naked eye.

Yeh it's all down to your area you live in, and the random mood the law are in when they see you drive past really.

Mate put 20% tints on his motor and seeing his I doubt mines anywhere near that. They are factory tints for a 16v though as branded on the windows.

It is all down to what mood the coppers are in cos another used to run limo tints on his Alfa 146 and was advised against it. Never got stopped so I guess my areas a bit ok.

wouldn't get away with limo tints here in hull mate 5.0 would be pulling you over every 5 mins. there always pulling modified cars over for no reason don't think they have anything better to do, maybe they should do some real police work like stopping drugies or stopping chavs beating ppl to death really does my head in we, pay our way and don't do nothing wrong so why should we be the ones getting pulled over all the time.

Think i'm lucky cos there's soooo many modded cars around East London, usually big boy toys so think they don't bother as much. Either that or the fact my ends is the most wrotten borough in London keeps them busy with real crimes!

NOZ the reason people with tints dont get pulled round our way is because theyre gangster, end off lol. Po know not to f**k wit us init hahaha.

Seriously though i have plenty of mates who cruise to southend and have all had theyre cheapo halfords tints ripped off the car at the scene so they do do it. Another mate had his taken from him in rush green near romford. So they are on it. Matter of fact id say they were bang on it. Which means i really need to get my rear tires sorted before i end up with a total of 9 points

Not good.

Thats kinda the reason why my boroughs the poorest, run-down borough in London (proven fact) and my address is in the 'referral' bracket for insurance

gangsta!

I was gonna have tints fitted by Polimax the morning after I crashed my old polo so knowing the luck I have I don't wanna jinx myself so never will on this one. The

works in mysterious ways!
