yes, now illegal to have fronts tinted, and they can be removed on the spot if told to do so by the police, unless they are factory tinted.

£83 is dead cheap.

Btw: your caps lock is on.

Not a good idea to tint the fronts imo. I had REALLY dark tints on the front and got an on the spot fine and had to prove they had been taken off :cry:. They're an absolute b!tch to get all the sticky crap off the windows too!! :grin:
Reckon they look cool though, just gettin the fine aint so cool!!

tip...once the tint is dry. use a fine file along the top edges. this gives it a smoother edge :smiley:
