Depends on where you are from.

However legal law has changed so now you cannot tint the front half of the car, only the rear. The police have the power to stop you now and tell you to remove the tint right there and then. There are no limits to the tint on the back.

Hi. Around my area theres no one better than RPB TINTS.

They do the window tinting for all the main dealers like, Mercs, BMW, VW, Audi, Volvo, Landrover and so on...... That means if you was to buy a BRAND NEW car and you ordered it with privacy glass its likely it would of been done by US!!  :smiley:

Come check us out -- www.rpbtints.co.uk -- or call Russell on 07702 199144

Getting mine done at Pentagon in Reading it's way to far for you and they only do cars you bring in not mobile sorry, for what it's worth I've been told they are S/Hot and looking in their album there are loads of £50k plus motors so I think I'm in safe hands!! Mind you I'll post again if it's a rubbish job!!

Good look on you hunt. Just out of interest what are you going for? I have a MkV 5 door in black (black interior) going for light smoke on the front and smoke for the rest.
The car in front is a Toyota............but only whilst I change down a gear!!

So I've been told by Pentagon I can get away with light smoke on the front, anything darker and the cops can pull you over and get you to remove it on the spot!! Bit harsh in my book but what the heck, the rest you can have what you like but I'm not a fan of "cargo" look so I went for smoke so there isn't to much difference.

http://www.carpages.co.uk/go.asp?session=2@9@38302@17427410@72 takes you to their page and if you click on tinted glass they have a nice little chooser on the right and you can see the different tints applied to a Range Rover.

Have fun
