Right, serious question is it possible to order these Black Rockinghams (or are they Detroits?) when you place an order for an Ed30 in place of the Pescara's?
No, not in the UK.

IMO you pay to much for the factory tints, i had the rear quarter of my MK2 Leon tinted as standard but it looks weird so i got the front tinted to match now it looks far better, a good tinter should be able to do the rears for £80-£100.

Yeah thought it might need front tints to match, what's legal these days?

As for the Rockinghams, going to have to call in the favours to get a set then... hmmm!!

Tints at the front over standard glass = my insurance has just gone up in smoke :wink:

Non-factory tints on the rear will not be part of the glass like the factory fit. Factory fit tints do not have to be declared as a mod either :smug:

You may just be smoking a spliff, with a can of lager in the other hand and with your extra special third hand, flipping the finger to the plod as they pass you :rolleyes:

On the other hand the law states that a certain amount of light must pass into the cabin to enable the driver to see out clearly. :nerd:

I do agree that it is a stupid law up to a certain extent. Some people would always take it too far if there wasn't a limit though :rolleyes:
