We've just brought a Fiesta Courier van with the side windows for SWMBO to take the mutt out in and I've got to limo black the rear windows and side windows. As I used to fit tints in a former life I'll do them with the class in place. Just don't for get the 70% rule for the front windows Wink Thumbs Up!

The annoying thing about that particular rule is that after you take the tint off, you can then put on sunglasses that are 5 times as dark and there's no special rule for that!  Ill thought out I'm afraid as with many of the recent tranche of regulations.

Dunno what these are about, but I folled a BMW the other day and it looked impresive.  No idea at all about the product or cost but maybe worth looking into. Thumbs Up!
