any window tinting is illegal on the front windows now because if you role it it will keep your windows together instead of allowing them to break.

not so sure thats true tbh, u cant smash the tint inwards thats y its used for theft reasons but it shud smash out so u can escape ur car.

its illegal coz it limits ur vision and a biker was killed due to sum idiot having such a heavy tint.

they will make u rip it off at the road side or have a fine and possibly points for dangerous driving. the legal limit is to have 80% of light going through the windows, mine was 18% wen tested by mr policeman, ooopsey

Sorry mate I think thats rubbish, that would make clear window safety film illegal too which would render every traffic car in the country illegal including all the armed response vehicles as they are all fitted with clear window saftey film on the glass.

This link gives you the legal limits which is 30% or 70% depending on which way round you read it.
