pic of mk2 with rear and back side tinted windows

I know someone who will do the rear window and back passenger windows for £80, you cant legally do the front ones anymore, and I want to know what they will look like before I agree to it, does anybody have any pics of this done to their cars???

I thought you could have up to a 35% tint on the fronts? And something like a 70% on the backs?

new law, no tints on front windows now unless factory spec ones. Shame but hey what can you do.

Give me a pic of all relevent views and i will shop them darker for you.

Oh right, just read up on it and the law changed at the beginning of this year. Bit of an ar*e as I was thinking of having mine done but dont want the backs done and the fronts not at all!!

Dont bother tinting the rears without doing the fronts. Looks like a van imo (no offence to anyone)

Ive got chromolux tints all round front and back.looks like highly polished glass in the right light and no1 can look in. Few of my mates have 80% on their dubs and no problem with the coppers about them :smiley:

If your not botherd about laws then do the lot.

Doesn't matter, mk2s never came with factory tinted windows to the same degree as they will have been done. you will be asked to remove them.

Good choice on not having it done.  :cool:
