    Sounds about right, I think it constitutes dangerous driving or something along those lines.

    Go for it sweeney. Think about the amount of times ive sat down at mfi and never had anythin said to me about them. And u know how many traffics are down there. All the seem to do the now is do folk for dodgy number plates. I think there is a certian % percentage you are allowed on the front but im not 100% sure ( i sure someone will shed some light on this). I can still see out no problem at night. My last car was tinted the same as this one and ive never had any probs. Just dont get it to dark as it will spoil the look of your car, you wont have good visionat night and it will make you look even more dodgy than you are!!! lol.

    I got a can of black spray paint and sprayed them, looks real good now, plus can't do me for having tints too dark as no sign of tints what so ever... Three cheers for loopholes in the law!
