   I've got tinted windows, (see link to my pics below). Bought the side ones from SubtleVTR but had the back one recently done for £25 by a local bloke - don't know percentage but when I went to get it done he showed me the shades that you can have your window tinted, and mine's the second darkest that they did.

   I may be wrong tho..

   Last I heard It was no more that 30% on the fronts but there's no limit on the back. The law changes so often though that it could be different now!!
   
   I left the fronts standard just to be on the safe side and tinted the rears.

   any tint on the front is illegal but most companies will still slightly smoke them for you if you ask them too.
   
   I personally believe that if you tint the back three then you should also tint the front two to match otherwise it looks rubbish. As long as you get a light tint at the front then you should be fine. Ive had mine over a month now and no problems with the law.
   
   But i will state again the above is my opinion

    Dont like tints my self but IMO if you do go for some a light smoke is best .
