Hi, I've got the back 3 windows tinted which i have had done professionally. I want to do the front 2 myself. I understand about the law and how anoying the air boubles can be but im still guna give it ago myself. Any tips aswell would be great :) So can anyone tell me where i can get some black tint film that is within the law regulations that i can fit myself?
Thanks, Lloyd.

Actually after watching it again he says standard glass normaly lets 78% of the light through. So its only a 8% tint. No point really is there? lol

no, 70% of the light has to shine through. and the tint can only block 30% of light.

lad i know had to rip his out at the road side or they were gonna impound his car as they only let in 64% light.. harsh but it's the law.

to be honest, by the sounds of it, i dont think it is worth getting the front windows tinted if it has to let in 70% and a normal front window lets in roughly 22%......
