I think they are dangerous on the front - especially at night.  My brother-in-laws cousin was pulled over last week and the cops ripped them off... and rightly so.

Both the fronts and rears are done on mine. The fronts are very slightly lighter but there's not much difference. As there's a lot of glass area on the Golfs, it does make quite a big difference to the looks. I like it  :wink:

Well each to their own.. just don't expect your insurance to be valid if you have an accident... :shocked:

My possibly illegal tints have already been discussed on here  :nerd:. I bought the car from a VW main dealer and the tints were already done. Although they look quite dark from the outside, from inside the visibility doesnt seem to be affected at all. If I thought they were unsafe I'd be taking it back to the dealer. As it is , I think they look pretty good :evil:

You're ok because you can - if the situation arises and I hope it doesn't - point the finger of blame at the VW dealer who sold you the car and plead ignorance...  :rolleyes:

Yes hehe I will. I don't know much about these tinting films. Mine doesnt look as though it has a film applied but then I guess they are invisible anyway.

So back on topic.....anyone got any pics of a silver 3 door with tints. The 5 door has quite a different ( dare I say not quite as pleasing )  side profile to the 3 door.
