Tinted windows on a white zed?

Cheers for the responses. I have to admit I'm shocked to hear the front windows are already done! You barely notice it. Therefore I'm starting to question whether more windows done like that are worth it as it still won't be noticeable!

 

Yeh I only found out when I was pulled over (and I wasnt speeding....!) I asked the copper if he had a reader in the car and he kindly obliged in testing the windows... when he saw the fronts were at 32% he was suprised due to the legal limits so he tried it on the windscreen and that was 31%.. he then tried his to make sure and it showed 34% on his volvo... tut tut tut!!

 

I think if you do go darker with a 60 to 70 (inc the 30% already on!) on the rear sides and rear and if you can get another 10% on the fronts it will flow nicely :)

 

That sounds good, however, surely any movement on the front ones makes them illegal!? What's the legal limit on the back ones? Thanks also for all the other responses. :)

 

Yeh as Ian said, no limit on the back and rear sides but if you went to 40 on the fronts you may get away with it...

 

What annoys me is that you see footballers and celebs pulling away in their RR's with a police presence around them and they are running limo tints and no one seems to care... you do it and get pulled and your requested to remove...

 

+1 such BS

need to invent some kind of lcd tint you can turn on and off.

pigs come by you flick it off then soon as they leave black it back out !

 

It is available, its called electrochromic window film but its mega $$$$ it was used on maybachs for the panoramic glass roof... think a few other cars are using it like one of the ford focus or s-max..

 

The film on the window has an electric charge and it changes at the flick of a switch..

Had a search and cant fond any aftermarket stuff at the moment!

I have something like that in my bathroom door. Its normal glass but press a button and it changes to opaque in a millisecond......and it cost a small fecking fortune but the salesman did a number on my mrs whilst I was looking at other stuff :dry:

 

Thats the stuff!!! Not sure about driving around with a shower door in the side of the Zed though !!! :lol:

Yeah sorry it was best photo i had and car is covered in snow at present and dirty so cant get another. You can easily still see through it tho and i dont class it as too dark, wouldnt go any darker tho as i dont like the limo tint look, makes it look like your trying to hide something lol
