from memory, if it's less than 80% transmissibility, it must say on the glass.

mind you, it just goes to show that different people have different views - the tints in mine annoyed me so much that I had to pull over half-way home from buying it to rip them out !

[unlucky mark mv6]

would like mine doing too, wonder if we could get a deal on a couple of cars?[/quote]
 

me too if we could get a cheaper deal for the more cars 

If your all willing to travel to tipton,i would certainly have a word with him about a group discount.

You know what makes me laugh about the tinting laws?

You can't do jack to your car forward of the B pillar, but there isn't a law that says I can't have my helmet visor "limo black" if I so desire.
There is also no law whatsoever that says you can't wear "blues brothers" shades when driving either.

Go figure!

The main reason is other drivers can't see you, at junctions etc. Think about it, how often do you drive down the road & look at the person waiting at a side road to see if they've noticed you (especially when riding a bike )

I got GNU done in weston super mare -- is that too far ?  £160 for limo black rear of B pillars inc. rear screen. Lifetime g'tee.

Incidentally, on the subject of tints forward of the B pillar. I can't remember the wording now, but the way the relevant Act was worded could be construed as any film, regardless of tint, affixed to the windows forward of the B pillar could contravene the regulations.

where was that?had mine done at smd solar control at hewish...

Was SMD at Hewish ---- He's moved to a unit near the helicopter museum now, so I am told

iirc dark visors where banned at one point, believe its now legal if you have a clear visor with you to replace dark visir with for night riding. But havent riden on road for years so may all have changed for bikes by now.

Gneneral idea was to be able to remove any dark tint at night. Visors and sunglasses can, axcessive tints cant.

ive ridden at 100 mph in the dark with a tinted visor,i was much younger and very stupid....and it was damn scary,wouldnt do it again or recommend it  8-)

You can have it as dark as you want on rear windows,just 2 front side windows,but thing is,you have 2 front side windows done,it might just tip you over the edge when it comes to the legal side of things,and probably end up ripping it off at the roadside,but personally i reckon it looks daft without em done,as it looks like the job hasent been finished. :-/

Kevin beat me

I'd speak to the admins about this abuse

[Sixstring]

 People: as regards to tinted motorcycle visors here, I speak from experience when I tell you that you can wear a tinted visor, as long as you have a clear one available to change immediately should you be stopped by the police.
They cannot do you if you have an IMMEDIATE alternative and fit it whilst they are present.

Mine has a dark tint on the rear doors and screen which is great at night as theres no glare from the cars behind you.

On the Manta we have used 3M Chrystal clear. Its not really a tint as such but is heat reflective.

Only one problem is its not available in the UK as we had to get this shipped from California where my customer lives, also had a big problem finding someone to fit it as it wasn't supplied by them and is thicker than normal tint.
