   Whats the law on window tints?
   As in what % can i have before the police slap my wrists?
   
   Also, with a silver car, would silver tints look good or am i better sticking to black?

   Going for 20-25% tints, found the limit is 30%.
   
   Silver or Black tho with a sliver car?

   I have limo black all way round on mine and it looks grats against a silver car. The cops are wankers they tested mine and were going to do me becoz they only allowed 7% light or sumith through. The door windows are already @ the legal limit for window tinting believe it or not. Jyst have to be careful thats all

   All the places for tints by me only do rear of the B post now.
   If i want the fronts doing i "have to risk it myself".
   
   I like the black to silver fades tho they look great.

   yeah many of them wont tint the front ones incase they get done. It easy to do yourself, just need a bit patience. It's easier to take the windows out if you tint them yoursleve
   
   What happened to my earlier posts, y is there 3??
   Strange

    I would stick with the 3 back windows (back passenger and rear) then they cannot really say that it inferferes with your vision. I think Silver on a silver car would look stunning but the black / silver idea I think would B cool.. is there much of a price difference between just Black / Silver and the black and silver one ???
