Tints

Somebody.....

Is there a differnce between smash and grab, and tints?

Our GTI has Smash and Grab tints on every window excluding the front windcreen/windshield.
They are reasonably dark. They cant be illegal right? Maybe the law in SA (Thats assuming there is a law ) are different?

Most aftermarket tints help deter smash and grab as they hold the glass together in the frame of the door and make it harder to gain entry

As Conrad (GTi5) lives in Dublin maybe the laws on tints are different over there?

Lost your tongue Conrad?

Thats correct lensblue! Laws are v easy going over here, no law against window tints nor about mk3 guys on the mk5 section lol

I'm still waiting for the first time I get pulled over by the police and get asked to remove my front tints.....that I haven't got . The fronts look quite dark, which is probably a knock on effect from the back tints which reduce the light inside the car.

Ye probly, from your pic they look pretty dark!

Well I was thinking that as you appear to want to use your car on the track then tints would be a bad idea!
Also tints on front windows are really bad at night!

Why would they be bad on track? Not driving on it at nightime! Had tints on my last car and had no difficulties driving at night with them, then again, they were only light tints!
