Just to lessen the divide between the front and 90% rears.Is that legal? Always thought the front door windows had to be clear like the windscreen!It's not, but sure we're all a little illegal.Have you told your insurance company?

Just to lessen the divide between the front and 90% rears.Is that legal? Always thought the front door windows had to be clear like the windscreen!It's not, but sure we're all a little illegal.Have you told your insurance company?Yes.In the UK, I don’t think it’s illegal to tint the front side windows in a car; the % of tint determines whether or not it’s illegal. I think that the side windows forward of the B pillars need to let through 70% of VLT (visible light transmission), so getting a 30% tint applied would be OK. Any darker, if you’re stopped by the police you may be asked to remove the tint film from the windows there and then if in their view they consider it to be too dark to be safe under certain conditions - e.g. reducing a person’s visibility when driving after dark. I think you would probably also get a fixed penalty notice, which could mean points on licence and / or a fine.

I’ve got 30 colour instrument colours coded in so it’s nice to match the footwells to the colours shown on the MIB and the digital dash.Driving at night is amazing now Looks great did you use OBD eleven to code the colours?Thanks! Yes I used OBD11 to change colours but only for the actual MIB/active info display. The footwell lights are controlled via an app on my phone/remote control

Got my car booked in to have the under bonnet sound insulation replaced and to investigate coolant loss.The tech I spoke to thought the insulation shrinks due to dealers jet washing under the bonnet, the insulation dries from the heat of the engine causing the shrinkage. No idea if he's right or not but seems plausible. He was also the one who suggested getting the engine checked for coolant loss when he saw the bottle of G12 in my hand. Although I've had a couple of issues with them generally they have been very helpful.
