probs rob ya about 200quid for all round matey maybe a bit more if u go to a rip off merchant, i got my back and rear sides done for £130. an the fronts were an extra £70 so didnt bother.
He is not starting anything. 30% USED to be the limit. I have a relative who is chief inspector of South Yorkshire police who looked this up. I bill in 2006 (i think) was passed and it IS illegal to have tints on the front. I have dark all the way round and have never been stopped BUT this is illegal.

Tinting fronts now illegal, fact. IIRC max tint level allowed on fronts is 15%, which they leave the factory at.

i appoligies if i sounded very blunt, but iv had this argument on countless forums and i had a "o here we go again moment" sorry dude
what % did you get on the back of yours its almost what im after mayby the one up from that would be more what im looking for
as for the price i just recived a quote from a tinting company that also dose the dimond protection as part of there films
and he quoted the same 170 without the protection 240 with
ps are the front of your still standard tint (i.e factory)

I don't know what the % was, mine were done by AutoTint in Altrincham and it was the 'light' film, the fronts were left as factory. I'm not arsed about what's been said, its just a FACT that any tint applied to the fronts windows is now (and has been for sometime) completely illegal, that doesn't mean you can't get it done and its up to you, just don't be under any illusion it is legal.

this is what he sent though
"Hi David. It will cost £189.00 inc vat to tint your car [any tint or mix of
tints].Please be aware that the legal limit for the front doors is 70% light transmission. If your car has tinted glass from the factory
any tint added to the front doors would not be road legal. Excluding the
front doors the cost will reduce to £129.00 inc vat.Security film only works
on the drop windows so will only need to be applied to the front doors,and
will cost an extra £60.00 making £249.00.If you already have factory tinted
glass it can still be added to the front doors in clear film.For any further
info or to book please ring on 01375 373980. Regards Sales"
that was the what the tinter guy said,
its not totaly illegal its just if u have factory tint then it is, so i guss in our case where stuffed! lol
