    Make sure the law regarding tinted windows is explained fully by the company to avoid being stopped afterwards - windscreen and front side windows must allow at least 75% of light through (70% for vehicles pre-1985). There's no limit on the rear windscreen/windows.

    You'll also need to inform your insurers, who will probably increase your premium for it.

    If it's under £400, it'll be a poor job. Also do not use any product you can buy in a motorists shop. Take it to a proper place specialising in it.

    A friend uses a place in Essex on 4 of his past vehicles at a reasonable price for a reasonable job. Is Rayleigh/Billericay area too far to travel?
    Praying at the church of MSE should be compulsory!

    There are three types of people in the world, those who can add up and those who can't.
  • Yeah thats a little too far from me, cheers any way.
