Window Tints

1jazz1 · 01-31-2014, 04:03 AM

I do have a question about tints..
I want a light smoked tint, not too dark and not too close to stock windows. I also want them to be anti glare. Any ideas? And anyone down in Middlesex, Berkshire or bucks area that are good and can do it?

I got my tints recently from surrey projects. I got 35% all round and it's not too dark. Not sure about an anti glare tint though. hth

I also want to get my windows tinted. I want to get the backs blacked out but not too sure about the fronts as I have heard of people being pulled up by the police!

35% all around?! Lol. Is that not illegal?; maximum allowed for front is 70% ?

I'm assuming you're referring to back windows only (including rear), and not the front/windscreen.

When you say 70% is it that the tints should let in 70% of light or is that the amount of tint that is allowed on the front side windows?

Windscreen is illegal if tinted but I'm sure we all know that right?! lol

Yeah 35% on back windows and rear screen. Wouldn't dream of doing the fronts as that would be illegal

70% light must be go through tints.

Thanks man I think I will just stick to the backs because I can have them as dark as I want.

I've just done my rear windows. looks ok (done by BMW) but i think i prefer the tinted glass.. anyone got any ideas how much this would cost?

Reece · 05-01-2014, 04:08 PM

Im sure the fronts are already as2 glass which means it already has a slight tint to it from factory, its how the glass is made, only know this from being pulled over in my 1st car that i owned for 2days before getting a tug.
So any tint on the front is illegal i think

I think that's a little expensive but I guess that is what is expected with BMW.
