Default got my new car.. opinion with pic.

picked the new motor up yesterday and to say Im impressed is an understatement

the car came with 35% tints all round.. not limo black thank fuck. Now the car is booked in with Honda on Tuesday to rmove just the front ones, keep the back and rer windows done.

They are now growing on me tho..

Should I keep them, or get rid? Alot of mates reckon they look good with but Im still unsure


not the best pic as it needs a good clean due to doing about 100miles in in over the last day

I'm not loving the tints at all. I think it would look alot better without any tints at all. Just my opinion. Nice car though I like the civic type R's.

tints look good, but they are illegal, and you will get ass fucked if you get caught with them (talking from experience)

Lose the tints mate looks great otherwise, much better than the nasty MK2! They sound awesome with an aftermarket exhaust on them too

errr because they can be removed easily enough...

I have had the old bill behind me and never got a tug, so assume they are legal?

From the vosa rulebook

Motor Vehicles first used on or after 1 April 1985:
The light transmitted through the windscreen must be at least 75%.
The front side windows must allow at least 70% of light to be
transmitted through them.
If the glass is tinted to a point whereby it lets through less light,
then the vehicle does not meet legal requirements.

after i had my tints removed, they were re-checked by vosa, and the standard ford glass (which is tinted anyway) oinly passed by 0.5%

if the car was any other colour I'd say remove the tints. But a black car with tints just looks the bollocks.

Keep them.

Its summer now so you can have the windows down if you want

I like it

Personally I only like tints on a black car anyway, so I'd keep them.

many thanks for the opinions... appreciated apart from Midget Boy (Deano ) What the fuck's Air Max got to do with Tints Obviously a little jealous as you must be struggling still to get the Infra Red air max in a size 4 (boys size )

The car goes in today, and Ive decided to get rid of the fronts and keep the rears...

Rhys - Superb motors... the VTEC is quite addictive..

I filled it to the brim.. 45 quid.. just under half a tank and 180 miles done.. So not bad at all.. maybe I just drive like a pussy

So aswell as your chavvy taste in trainers (in girls sizes and colours) , your now ripping out the front tints and keeping the rears to complete the chavtastic look overall ? .......... SCORE !
