Looks great, but i don't want to put a downer on it, I think you will get pulled over by the fuzz for having your front windows tinted to that level. I think its no more than 10% or less, i may stand corrected but I know someone had to remove it instantly or leave the car on the side of the road.

i had a traffic copper admiring her on friday, he didnt once mention the tint level in the fronts...maybe i was lucky??

Was watching a traffic cops program the other day..

Woman in a range rover gets pulled over... very dark tints on the front...
Copper says illegal, and woman just says the dealer did it..

He got this little light meter jobby out and tested them... sure enough, she had to remove them there and then, so had to call her hubby as she didn't want to break her nails (typical ! )

remember something about the copper saying they had to transmit just short of 75% light through.. anyway, just checked and its 75% through the windscreen, and 70% through the front side windows.. on cars from April 85 on... earlier cars is 70% on both.

So for the sides, that makes a 30% tint and below legal.. anything else and it's a fine and points.

addendum..

With bike helmets, the standard for visors is 50%, but then that is only for daytime use... at night you could still be pulled for it..
On the other hand, you can wear any tint of sunglasses, which makes the first part stupid...

Looks great Steve love the car colour never seen a 6 that colour.

You're only 5% out are you going to try and bluff it out if pulled?

nah, i wont try to bluff it, if they have to go, then so be it, it didnt cost me anything for the tinting, so i wont loose out, (the tinters took lots of piccies for advertising), and they did the tinting whilst replacing the chipped screen.

as for the colour, i admit, i have never seen an MX6 in black before, but i love it, it's just a real pain to keep clean, i gave it the full meguires treatment yesterday, the last night it rained, and that rain was full of sand dust....the car looks filthy again, still, i will clean it again tomorrow...
