None of the attached pics appear in the previous few posts :( wanted to see the difference. What exactly is the legal window tint limit you can get and what is the common % to get.

It seems their web address has changed - postimg.cc seems to work but unfortunately that means all the old links are no longer going to work, no idea why it has changed.

From the B pillar back, you can paint the windows black if you want. It's no different to a car derived van, or any over van for that matter, except bigger vans have better mirrors.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Dark windows (in this case 90%) on dark colours can obscure details
