I was under the impression any tinting on the front side windows was illegal. The minimum requirement for VLT is 70% and most standard windows are tinted to this level anyway. I may be wrong, but I do know on a previous vehicle I had the lightest film you could get on the front windows and I was duly asked to remove this at the side of a road by a friendly Police man, as it was too dark. He measured with a meter and it was allowing much less than the required percentage.

You are not doing yourself any favors with the provokotive nature of your posts. I think your Revere Sport looks the business and certainly would have no qualms about owning such a vehicle. You need to chill out a bit, they are not to everybodies taste. To the other posters by all means criticise what doesn't appeal to you, but describing something as excrement doesn't help anybody either. Personally give me a well sorted Autobiography any day

Yes it is perfectly legal to have them tinted provided they allow 70% of the light through. Most cars have a very slight tint on them as standard and adding anything to these is more than likely to take them over the allowed limit. But if you're confident that they are fine then it's all good.

Liking the transformation mate. Your car will be revered by many!!! Get it?

Seriously mate just read the thread for the first time and whilst everyone to there own, suggesting it might make lany damn point to a bet in Mayfair to see who got more looks just makes me cringe! Oh dear dear dear
