A light smoke tint can look very classy.

However when too dark then can look a lil 'chavvy'

I think the tints on the rear windows look great. I got mine done recently and I am very happy with them. The front windows could be an issue for MOT and could get hassle from the law. I had the examiner in the MOT try and say my Audi front windows were too dark and he got the gizzmo for testing them to be proved wrong.

I agree with not wanting the van look. This is a 70% tint all sides and rear.

Not an issue for MOTs, on PC Plod.
He can stop you and either give you a £60 fine and request them removed from the front, or issue you with a 7 day notice to have them removed.

Generally they accept you peeling some off on the roadside, knowing you'll have to get them taken off properly afterwards. All depends on the stopping officer.

Apart from my current car which I've only had since the summer, my last 4 Audi's had had a light smoke all round and I've never had any problem from the local po-lisssss. Other constabularies taken a different view however.

looks nice mate, its darker than 70% its more like a 35% even 20% as the factory glass is a couple of percent lower than 70% b-back is leagel but 2 drivers ans passinger is not allowed. points, fines, insurance taken off you on the spot, which means car impounded and lots more i can tell you.
window tinter for 15 years crystal clear tinting :nogarors4:
