   Dont want to fawk out near on £200 for tints all round when i can get them for this price and then fit them myself.
   
   P.S: I know the law about the legal amount of light going through im just asking if this would be a good buy or if people have had good or bad experiences with these?
   
   Cheers, Lloyd.

   I've seen these as well and am also interested. Can't see it being to the same quality but will do a pretty good job
   
   Am I correct in saying that all the back windows can be as blacked as you want, but the windscreen and drivers door have to have at least 70% light ?

   Can't tint the windscreen can you?
   
   As far as I know back can be as dark as you like and the front have to let in 70%. I'd imagine you'll get pulled all the time, but I have tints and touchwood, i've yet to be pulled.

   Front screen and windows cant be tinted at all now I dont think.
   
   bay kits fit quite well but the film is poor quality, so scratches and creases easily. Not bad for the money but professionaly done tints will always look better imo

   I've just been told to remove my front tints cause they were over 30%. sunstrips as well.

   There are legal limits specifying how dark tinted windows can be on a vehicle: behind the B Post (ie rear passenger windows and rear screen) there are no limits side windows in front of the B Post (ie front passenger windows) must allow 70% of light through front windscreens must allow 75% of light through
