What is the legal limit for window tinting in the UK?

I want to get the windows on my CLS55 tinted to the darkest possible, but I'm not sure what the legal limit is in the UK. Also is it possible to get the front windows (not the windscreen) tinted as well? My friend recently got his windows tinted and got "limo black" all around, which is around 70%/90% (?) but he said it's illegal to get the front windows done, but the police don't bother you much.|||You can go as dark as you like all round except the front sides. 70% light transmission must be able to pass through these windows, so legally they cant be tinted (because most new cars have this amount already!), but if you go for light smoke, you probably wont be bothered by them (my whole car is in light smoke since the last 4 years and no problems!).





It all depends on where you go too, if you spend a lot of time at cruises where the police are looking for this kind of thing then I suppose you have more chance of getting told off! (well they make you rip the fronts off in the street! Or fine you 拢30).
