I don't know if Snoopy has answered your question, (You tube is blocked by company server) I think the law is it must be below 30% Visible Light Transmission.

do u think the ones on the back of the gti will be too dark for the front side windows ?

the ones on the back of the gti are 65% so in theory it will be legal in the uk having them in the front window as well

The law requires that the windows on the vehicle allow at least:

75 per cent of light through the front windscreen
70 per cent of light through the front side windows

Hmmm it would look stupid If the front 2 were lighter than the back 2 not sure what to do now

Pretty much nothing can be fitted to the front windows. Carbon/mirror UV light tint is the most you can fit.

If you tint the front , risk prosecution.
