WHAT'S THE BEST ONE TO USE FOR THE FRONTS

I've just done light smoke on my van, both fronts and quarter lights a couple of people i know have been stopped by the plod for dark tints,one had limo black and the other dark smoke, i had dark smoke on our people carrier, but at night you can't see out of the passenger window properly, i think the old bill shine a torch through and use some sort of filter, that has to show 70% light

HI MATE YES I THINK THE POLICE HAVE GOT A SENSOR THAT DETECTS HOW MUCH LIGHT IS LET IN, ALL MY REAR WINDOWS ARE REALLY DARK, SO DON'T WANT TO DO THE FRONTS TO DARK, IN CASE I GET STOPPED, JUST WONDERED THE BEST ONE TO USE

I got a mirror silver tint for mine with the intention of putting that on the front but was warned of using it by a tinting company, I have since seen a few cars using it on the fronts though so I might give it a go and play dumb.

Don't play dumb or you'll get done
Front and windows left and right to the driver can only be tinted to approx 25'/. The rest you can limo

It definately cuts your vision after this Don't let a bike accident be your fault

Dave if your side and rear windows are done in limo tint, if you use a light tint in the front, looking at it it will appear darker, but from the inside you will have good visabiltiy

THANKS MARK, HAVE YOU GOT YOU FRONT ONES DONE

[Valsheda]

No not yet mate but its on the cards to be done, but as i said having dark tint through out will make the light tint look dark at the front.

by law you can not have any tint on the front windows, if you have light smoke 30%-35% you can get a £40 pound fine and told to remove it.

if you go dark smoke 20%-25% you can get 3 points, they will put their light meter on your windows and measure the vlt (visible light transmisson) across three points and hand you a lovely yellow producer.

how do i know? i tint windows and i have been pulled in my old grey van .
in which i had the windscreen tinted with 35% and the front side windows that measured 3.7% VLT he he.

didnt get three points even though they tried but got a £190 fine

i didn't think that any tint was allowed on windscreens.

[WINDSCREENGUY]

its not

[FredTransit]

Ah, I see.........

[Andrew-v4]

WHAT TINT DID YOU USE ON YOUR WINDOWS MATE, I WANT TO GET THE FRONTS DONE ON MINE, BUT BEEN TOLD IT'S A NICK WITH POINTS IF THEY ARE TOO DARK. VAN LOOKS GREAT

Tint is security tint from screwfix, costs about £7 a roll. Police make nearly everything illegal to do with cars When i get stopped i'll just remove it. Brother got told to remove his tint a while back, was told to remove on the spot no fine or take it off later, fine. Supose it depend on your attitude or the officer.

[WINDSCREENGUY]

be warned i didnt get the choice to remove it i just got the kind offer of three points
