window tints.

Post by red6n2 »

been thionking of adding tints to my list lately, what is the actual legal limit is it only 25% ?

i know with the polo the passenger and drivers window arent meant to have any as they have a green tint on them already or something. but i was thinking somethinmg alont the lines of the back 3 in a 35% tint ?

peoples views, opinions ?.

lol its illegal on these due to the green tint. Front windows must let in 75% of light - the green tint plus any other tiny puts it below this legal limit

not sure on percentage,

medium front,
dark smoke rear,
paid 130ish i think..

there fairly dark but fortunatly police in tamworth have never been too bothered about them, can still see me when driving from outside.

ide recomend medium all round.
