anybody with tints!

[ClioJohn]

so you all ready to get them removed?

this new law is just the gayest thing to come into being since graham norton.

i mean wtf 70% light, thats like not even tinted.

Was reading in a mag that between 50-70% they just inform you its illegal,

50-30% they give you a ten day producer to get them removed

and then 30-20%, which most of us are, they give you one hour to get your car of the road and you need to have your tints removed and the car inspected before its road legal again. My tints are 20% all round so i think im up the old creek with no paddle!

madness, Im leaving mine till i get pulled...hopefully a wee while yet

yup thats y mine r only tinted at the rear. anythin forward of the b-pillar is the law, front windows basically

 

[renaultsport83]

Im not removing mine, i was told when they were put on that they were legal. I was told if i get any problems, to put the police in contact with the company who fitted my tints.

Mine are not legal. I had to sign a disclamer for my tints. I had dark smoke on the rears and light smoke on the front. Apparently my clio already had tints on them already, which i didnt realise.

 

[Bubbles]

Yes, when you take the factory fitted glass out, there already tinted..

 

[OLLZIE]

Im not actually sure if i could get away with it.

 

[JAY172]

was thinking about some tints but you can only have a 30% tint which is nothing really.i bet its not much darker than my original factory tint

 

[renaultsport83]

did u have to remove them though, ive got 65% lumar film on rear and 25% on front as well as factory fitted tints ( slightly ) u saying that isnt legal? i got away with it!

 

[OLLZIE]

im not to sure what % i have got at the front but i had to sign a disclaimer.I had, light smoke on the front and midnite on the rears. I had it done here. look on the web and find out if my tints are legal.

went to a cruise last year and the police were checking tints(w**kers)

 

[spirez]

You cant have the front tinted at all now, not legally anyway

 

[renaultsport83]

well this cop must have been bent! why cant we tint the fronts? i thought we can have something like 25%

bullsh*t

 

[Lunner]

tbh i dont give a flying f**k!!!

Loads of cars have tints as standard, loads of people have been tested, i think tis just the very dark tints. Light smoke, whihc most people have isnt a problem.

There seems to be sooo much varying inof on this, some people say light smoke is illegial, some say it isnt, tbh im still gettign mine done whether its illegial or not!!

 

[renaultsport83]

that is horse sh*t! im not touching mine!

 

[OLLZIE]

i reckon thats just a way to sell thier product

 

[renaultsport83]

i paid good money for mine and im not removing then unless my lisence depends on it!

 

[ClioJohn]

the law has just been changed, the reason tints were legal was actually due to a legal loophole in the wording of the law.

However following a crash/death involving a motorbiker and a car with dark tints, the law has now been updated and the wording corrected.

Supposidly the police are about to begin their crack down.

total bs if you ask me! Im just hoping the police in my area dont have any testing device

 

[OLLZIE]

me too!

 

[Dave]

Mine are legal.

 

[Bubbles]

Yeah, they might be illegal now, but to be honist, in the year and half ive been driving, ive never been pulled (touch wood) even what i had cliosportcraigs car, and thats 80% down the sides and limo on the back... so im not panicing, if they pull me and tell me to take them off, then fair play..
