As above,

As a birthday present for my 21st In a few weeks I am booking It in for tints all round.

I have searched on here and saw a few I do like but I'd like to see your's and know what grade of tint Is on them!

Thanks

You do know its illegal to tint the fronts dont you? The backs are fine whatever level though.

Yeah I'm aware they are illegal for road usage but thanks for pointing out.

Don't forget to wrap your pillars in some sort of black to, looks awesome.

Good shout actually, never thought of that!

I'm thinking about getting the roof vinyl black so I could just get them to fire some onto the pillars too

That Is stunning dude! Light smoke front, dark smoke on the back?

Note the oem light transmission of the standard glass is right on the limit. Have had mine tested. Mine came with tints all round but I soon took off the front ones myself due to it being dangerous, especially at night.

How it came

How it is now

Anyway, i have whatever they do at skoda so rears tinted and fronts oem but ive added the pillar vinyls

Its not illegal to tint front windows, they just have to let a certain amount of light thru. Although as Jason has said, the standard tint is on the limit. I might for the first time in my life sound like a "old man" on here but would you drive with sunglasses on at night? Or try it, and see how safe it is. On the plus note, get the rears done, and a subtle sun visor type tint on the top of the windscreen & the fronts will look darker anyway.

I appreciate what everyone Is saying and do understand. I don't want to start a heated debate about the law and what Is "ok to get away with" and so on as there Is far too many other thread's on this site that already contain this

Just looking for pictures of fabia's with tint's all round and thanks for everyone who has contributed so far, looking good!

But when the oem fronts are on the legal limit and its a road car how is it not illegal?

Had any bother with it mate?

What did you get done on the rears?

Would be keen to seem some pictures of it!

It won't take long believe me! oink oink! I nearly ran some old dear over whilst manouvering with tints on the front. Just never saw her! Tints came off that same evening!

When its not on a fabia? Not all cars have the same level of standard tint do they?

Poor old dear haha! Live and learn eh!

All cars have a degree of front tinting as standard and there isnt a low enough tint grade you can put on any front windows for them to still be legal. I presume you know that a car has to let at least 70% light through the fronts? If you have fronts tinted with a standard tint then have them tinted again then the lowest tint will still be illegal as it wont let 70% light through.

I had the fronts done (light smoke) & the back darker. First thing my misses said when I got home ' it's dark and dingy in here now'. ( and it was)

And you do miss things driving at night and living on a farm with no street lights what so ever, I had to rip the fronts off, even though they looked awesome.

My Yellow one, 50% tints all-round. No trouble from the plod so far touch wood

Even the windscreen?

Even the windscreen?

mine? nope not the windscreen, 50% sunstrip at the top tho

Even the windscreen?

I thought that looks dark

Mine light front windows medium back windows dark rear

They do t even look very tinted in this tbf

Better pic

You might get away with a 10% film on the fronts - as long as it looks barely any different to normal. Standard glass is smack on the 70% light transmission limit. I was surprised, but then you can tell when you have the window half open on a bright day.
