Window Tinting

Just thougt i would clarify this point, i've had a look on various websites like VOSA Which says that it is legal to tint all your windows!!!


Front Windscreen: 25% (they must let 75% light through)
Front Windows (i.e drivers and passengers): 30% (70% light must get through)
All other windows – No restriction.

So there you have it, hope this sorts it all out

Re: Window Tinting

I also thought it was completely illegal to have any tints whatsoever on the front windows

Re: Window Tinting

Ok for all those who don't believe me here is a link to the vosa web page.

http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosa/publicat...nformation.pdf

I also have a link to a police website which might have some other useful info.

Re: Window Tinting

im sure it was amended again in 2004 with new rules. im sure you are not allowed to apply film of any kind to the front windows. could be worth giving the number a call in that vosa pdf link on the third page.

Re: Window Tinting

i think you can get away with it as long as it allows the legal light through.
not a fan of dark tints on the front anyway as its just asking for trouble with visibility IMHO
