I thought it was illegal to have tinted front windows - at least in the UK

You can tint your front windows in the uk but I think it has to let something like 70% light through. The police have a gadget to test this at the road side. If it fails they won't let you move until you remove the film.
The fire brigade however advise not to tint front windows because in the event of an accident if they have to put window through to get you out it's a lot harder to do as the film will hold the glass in place

Igotta check how 30% tints look!to allow 70% day light. i really hate having the back already tinted and the fronts not

Here in Netherlands all the front ones have to pass a meaurement 50% pass.. as for the rear side windows i like to gt rid of the privacy glass.
hey are too dark for me. Sometime i will change them with normal glass and will have all side windows tinted till 50%.

It's obvius that you don't have so much sun in Netherlands. Here in Greece with 39 Celcius today and 270+ sunny days per year, I wouldn't drive a car without tints.

If we had weather like that I would just put my sunglasses on

Hope this helps

Vehicle was first used on or after 1 April 1985

The front windscreen MUST allow a minimum of 75% light through and the front passenger windows; front side windows MUST allow a minimum of 70% light through.

Vehicle was first used before 1 April 1985

Both the front windscreen and front side windows MUST allow a minimum of 70% light through.

Ok. Well.. as you know the ´tintman´ device the police use will test it and till 50% its allowed.
My RAV4 drives around almost 10 years with it and still no problem. (knock off) So my C-HR will get it too.
