Pete91 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yeah it used to be that 70% light had to get through the fronts and the rears could be as dark as you wanted. I spoke to a guy that has his own tinting business an he said that they've just brought in new rules that say all tints are illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fob163 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 tints wont be illegal, cause lets face it, most modern cars that come put have tinted windows as standard. look at a mk6 gti/gtd, polo 6r, scirrocco, audi tt, audi a3 just off the top of my head. window tints wil lalways be legal to a degree. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Yeah you're right, most modern cars have a slight tint in the glass anyway. It's the aftermarket tint film that'll be illegal on the fronts. Edited November 14, 2012 by Pete91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
