    feel sorry for your mate Stoney, but I think this has been covered just lately. :(

    any tint on the front will make then illegal, so as long as you know that when you do it, you are prepared for the prohibition order, fine and hassle of getting them taken off if your caught by the fuzz.

    I thought it was ok that they were too dark as long as they "looked lovely".

    To be honest Rob, your mate is lucky. Far better to simply be caught, prohibited from use and the tints removed, than what could also have happened.
