  • Tint

    Just been cleaning my motor, first time since well before Christmas. When cleaning the rear window, all I could see, (apart from my handsome self looking back at me) was the house window behind me, I could see nothing in the back of the motor, because of the tint and the fact it's a dull old day.
    Its a strong tint and it set me wondering if anyone had been stopped by the police and had the tint checked. Slow day today

    I wouldn't think so as it's factory fitted, so the powers that be at VX at the time would make sure it's legal.
    I think if you have it dark on the front windows, especially aftermarket ones on the boy racers car.....it's a guaranteed stop.

      You should be fine man, I've driven beside/in front of and behind the police in mine and you literally can't see in the rear window or back passenger windows at all. My daughter puts stickers all over the inside of her window and you can't tell at all from outside. As long as 70% of light can come through your windscreen and front windows you're fine. You could paint your back windows to match the car and it would be legal

        As I polished the rear window, I wondered if anyone had been stopped by an ambitious young policeman.

              Yeah only the driver, front passenger and windscreen glass is regulated. The rear passengers and back window can be totally black as long as you have door mirrors.

                I'm not sure factory tint (privacy glass) is limo black. I can see through mine as it's got a bumper in it
