be careful,

imprezas suffer chronicly with scratched windows and when you tint them they show scratches and imperfections much much more and look shit, they get dirt caught on the inner furry window runner guides and destroy the glass and tint

I have used pentagon and screen tech in Bristol with no issues would happily recommend them. Screen tech are a bit cheaper.

any descent tint company will measure the percentage of light that passes through the glass before tinting it, as manufacturers have different amount of tint in standard tint in the glass, even light smoke would normally fail the 30% limit

And dont forget the on the spot fine that goes with it !

Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986 as amended
specify the minimum levels of light that must pass through the
windscreen and front side windows. The limits are:

Motor Vehicles first used before 1 April 1985:
The windscreen and front side windows must allow at least 70% of
light to be transmitted through them.

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.

Note:- Rear Side Windows and rear screen are NOT part of the above regulations BUT the vehicle must have sufficient mirrors to ensure sufficient rear vision
