Mine were around 120, probably one of my fave mods on the car, makes it look soooo much better!

definitely thinking of it being one of the next mods for the car one other thing was, where does everyone think would be the best place to get spacers and extended bolts from for the car? really like the low wide dance so think would be a big improvement for the car

The companies I spoke to about getting mine done (within the last couple of months) said that I couldn't have ANY tint on the front or windscreen now!

I got my window tints done at £25.00/window by some tinting experts. But the guy and his team do it privately and just cash in hand.

Liesta, take them off asap mate. If the police pull you, it's a £30 fine and you have to rip them off there and then.
As for regulations, Chris is correct.
Windscreen 20%, front windows 30% and rear unlimited. Alot of companies won't offer windscreen tinting anymore, I believe this is because Police were forever pulling cars over to test them.

Tom, I hate to tell you but just because packaging shows an E mark, it doesn't make them legal.
ALot of places in China make cheap crap, and want to make high profit, they fake the E mark.
CHeck the bulbs and see if they have an E mark or BS stamp on them, because if a car with Blue sidelights comes into my station, I'm going to fail it lol. E mark or not.
Hope that helps and prevents you a £60 fine.

I believe you have the exact same sidelights Ash, but thanks for the heads up. I think I'll get some white LEDs instead, when i change the headlights.

. makes parking at night kinda annoying though :L. Sorry to ask a question on ya thread but does anyone know how to check if the fronts are legal? Mine were all done when i bought the car but the front 2 are really dark ._.
s Daily
I wonder why they said that then? Surely they just turned down extra business?!
