what tint?

i have succumbed.
my car goes into pentagon tomorrow for tinting.
i am having tints applied rear of b posts but am uncertain what level of tint to go for. when i bought the car (a demo) it was already very lightly tinted with light smoke all around (except windscreen) which is hardly noticeable.
suggestions please.

Go maximum legal in front and fairly dark back, but don't do the full drug dealer tint! 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

From April 1st this year car tinting firms cannot tint front windows by law (they can be fined heavily for doing so). They cant even add a light smoke (30% tint) if you already have factory smoked windows

If anyone knows of a firm still doing front windows can they let me know, as I dont really like the 'stepped' look from front to rear windows (ie the factory tints).

If I was having mine done and the fronts were being left with the factory tint (very light..20% I think), I would go for light smoke on the rear passenger windows and gradually move to dark smoke (70%) at the rear.

I think the law is that the front windows/windscreen needs to allow 60% light in minimum. 10 Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder

NO need, it was in the thread! Shocked

"The cost was £100 for the fronts and all my windows were done by a Burton on Trent based company called Executive Tints. They are a mobile fitting outfit and will come to you as long as your car can be under cover.

I went with 15% and it matches almost perfectly.
