i've got no factory tint on my pov spec orion. the glass is completly clear. (thats unusual i know ) can i get a smoke all round? i.e front windows? what about the windscreen?
i cant stand cars that have dark tints at the back then lesser at the front. is the law still the same. something like 70% sunlight must get through ?

Ta, Joe

 

the fronts have got to let a certain % through the rears can be as dark as they want i think

 

As above, but ANYTHING other than factory tint on the fronts are illegal.

 

yeah, but as i said i think cars with uneven tints look wank.
i want an even smoke all round, can that be done ?

 

shit, so even if i had a "factory look" tint it'd be illegal?

 

youre right ablut the certain light through the windows, so if you havent got any tint on the front, green bornze whatever you can tint your front ones too, but im unsure what amount you can do, think its a little more than 70%

 

If you can actually find a tint film that lets the same amount of light through as a factory tint then that should be fine. Although finding one like that may be difficult. I went the the lightest tint possible on my Lexus and still got pulled, tested with the light meter and then fined and given 14 days to take it out.

Having said that, it really depends on how strict the police are in your area. Ive known people get away with it for ages, and others get pulled after a few days.

 

i live in birmingham mate, the pakis have limo tints on civics and lexus' and skylines and seem to have no probs.

but i'm not gonna take the piss by any stretch of the imagination. i want a light smoke to offset my black alloys.
