The side front windows need to allow 70% light to go through

Mine are about 50% if I remember correctly. They look a lot darker when the white Suburban is not a backdrop.

That looks good and fact you can see thru to the white vehicle makes me feel happy I'm not taking the pïss

I thought in the UK that was illegal to put any additional tint on the front?

How many cars do you see with illegal spaced number plates but we do it as it looks better just drop the window down if u see the police lol

Hope the bikers among us feel the same. After all its bikers that tend to be overlooked when cars pull out of junctions, and it's bikers that pay that price. So I hope you always open your front windows at evert T junction, if you decide to tint. I am not a biker, but I would hate to think illegal actions could have a potential life changing impact all for good looks / fashion. Changing a number plate spacing does not have the same potential impact, it's only AMPR that has a problem with this, so If your Mini was stolen the Police can't track it.

I got limo tint on back windows, then went 2nd darkest on driver/passenger windows. It looks amazing, but the one draw back is when I back into my dark garage, I do have to lower my passenger window to see the garage more clearly through side mirrors, otherwise looking through tinted window makes the garage a black hole.

Second darkest is that 20% ? As I was thinking a touch lighter and are you in the uk ?

Cyclists I imagine would be more likely to be hurt from people pulling out at junctions. MotorBikers are usually further out in the road with headlights on all the time.

Tbh most of the motorbikes in my area like to do the tyre warm up wiggle in the 30mph limit ready for the scarey 60mph and the rest tend to think they are on a unicycle so can't see diddly squat lol push bikes are wide as cars these days love nothing more to go 3 a breast so they can be seen also I hear what people say and as I said I want a slight tint nothing crazy as I do carry a child around with me

Bike helmets can have 50% tints and still be leagal

So time for some perspective

 

[Fartnugget]

windows done 50% vision is not obstructed at all and looks better imo

Personally don't like front window tints, reminds me of when I saw a Overfinch Sport pulled over and having the police rip the front tint to ensure he has it taken off. Just think if you go darker than a sun protection film then you look a bit silly, a bit too drug dealer... Just my opinion, yours don't look too dark though to be honest so you'll probably get away with it.
