I know Nenna is from Finland but thought I should point this out to forum members. I've read in my local newspaper and heard the police on the radio saying that they are carrying out checks on cars during January. It's to ensure cars are safe for driving especially during the winter weather, tyres, windscreens, wipers, lights, etc. But the other thing they are also looking at is window tints - which they say should let in at least 75% of light.

I never fathom why anyone north of Newcastle would ever purchase a new, decent and expensive car.
As you so eloquently put it, the weather is "nae" too good up that way :eusa-think:

You know it makes sense ;)


With all the "mods" you've put on your car, will the leasing company take it back as is or will they make you remove everything and put it back to the standard ??

Gorwell the roads are normally gritted up here from october to the beginning of march :x its rained/Hurricanes :shock: every day since the 1st of december so the gritters have almost been idol ;) :lol: as for the mods these are just bulbs really and i will put back the originals they can keep the alcantara wheel and window tints well its very subtle so hopefully get away with that :lol: The mrs likes the audi i love the facelifted version especially them led drls :cool: and the 2.0 tfsi is great engine 211bhp i think enough for me

Its 75% of light, not 80%.

okay, i thought it was 80, but still, 75 for windscreen and 70 for the side windows "http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/OwningAVehicle/AdviceOnKeepingYourVehicle/DG_181016" still doesnt leave alot of room for tinting, so was just wondering, but thats for the informative response to my question...

i think my fronts/side windows are 70% down by 5% i can live with that :thumbup: it dont take much extra tint for the windows to look really dark on a white RCZ as the rear screen is 35% which adds to the over all effect and makes the side windows appear darker than they actually are :cool: I have had this 70% tint done on my last 3 cars with no problems what so ever.it makes my rcz more individual looking and also better/whiter looking :lol:
