Removed Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 We have to be careful when we make statements that they are accurate and valid, otherwise people could end up being stoppped by the constabulary for something that was done on forum advice... And it is dead easy to find a lot of the info on Google these days so no excuse to double check... I am pretty sure OEM tint will be around 15-20% max, when they apply it, letting 80% light in, minimum. I guess , and this is my guess, as I am not an expert on this, if you then select a 30% tint, it could compound it to 45-50%? So yes a very light tint 10% for example would already put you on the limit, and you might not really notice it. I hope good "tinters" would measure the starting level and then decide the requiered level of added tinting. I am also pretty sure that under normal circumstances you'll probably get a telling off from mr policeman, if you are a good honourable decent looking citizen...that is if you get stopped by one of the two policeman left patrolling our roads... agree with you, hence why I said that any tint darker than a clear film is going to be illegal already. Pentagon Glasstech also clearly advise that anything darker than a clear film will push you over the legal limit. Quote
Zzzz... Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 My "WOW wow wow" was not directed at your comments, it was other comments about the law requiring only 30% of light to go through... I thought that could be cause some problem ( specially for visbility!!! ) Quote
bob350z Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 I agree with sl114 - why do I want to hide behind a tint? Unless it's because then the street cred goes due to old age or lack of hair. As anyone who attended JAE last year knows - this cannot possibly describe me Quote
Jobo Posted March 2, 2007 Author Posted March 2, 2007 Window Tinting - Amendments to legislation During the early part of 2004, Section 32 of the Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations will be amended to include “Window Tint Films†Quote
Jobo Posted March 2, 2007 Author Posted March 2, 2007 Who's doing it for you jobo? My dads rangie is tinted all round, I think it was pentagon that did it. It's dark at the back and legal at the front. He thinks he's a pimp daddy but the legal limit is dark enough to give an effect! Its Tinthaus up in Altens, i had my Fabia vRS done by them, seemed to do a pretty tidy job Quote
Stew Posted March 3, 2007 Posted March 3, 2007 Tinthaus did my *ahem* Saxo. Is it still Scott that runs it? They did a good job on the wee shitron. I'll see how yours turn out and how much it costs and I'll look into it perhaps. Quote
Mathys Posted March 10, 2007 Posted March 10, 2007 Maybe a little late, but here are some pics of my tint. (35% light goes through) It was quite sunny, it might look darker with less direct sunlight. Quote
