I've got a light tint on my front windows and they look like this from the outside

And with the door open

I had the windows on my focus tinted professionally about 14 months ago and the bloke said he can't tint the front windows as it's illegal now although he also said that with legal stuff out the way did I want the front ones done? Lol

Not been pulled for the ones in the transit.

Dirtydog - think you came over one time to pick up a seat or something? I remember the windows - yeh I'm liking that light smoke, definitely think it's the way forward for me. Maybe it's not to the letter of the law but let common sense prevail, it's plenty light enough. What film make or where did you get it? One mans light smoke may not be the same as anothers.

This is what dark smoke looks like when you are looking through it - never had a problem seeing, even at night in dark roads.

You can just see my Aston parked in front :)

And this is the effect from outside - pretty much as good as limo black unless you go right up close and really peer in.
