I don't think they are legal mate

Law states 70% of the light must get through front side windows and you've added a 35% tint on top of the factory tint.

Cops are getting hot on this now and a young lad I know lost his license through this dispite removing the tints at the side of the road.

they are far from legal lol. I tested my std factory tinted windows and they were just on the limit when i worked at vosa, any form of tint easily puts them way over the limit.

look ace on the saff though!

I think factory tints are already 20 -25 %
Saff Coz windows the same as Sierra ghia and they are deffo darker than standard sierra so add your tints of 30 -25%

It's down to the local cops really, a mate of mine had a black Granada with limo black, black as hell itself tints and never had any trouble dispite being pulled for other things, has his range rover total black too - but that don't mean that other police in another county or another area wont do you up the arse for it.

Looks good mate, definately miles over the limit though! As said above, I had my windows tested by vosa and had a prohibition notie put on the car until tints were removed. The standard glass without the tint was within 0.5% of the legal limit!

The lad I know had passed his test less than a year previously and had 3 points for speeding.

Cops screwed him for another 3 points meaning a ban and re-test even though he removed the tints there and then.
