    You need to buy the Heico rear diffuser & double outlet exhaust. Then that car will drop knickers at 50 yards.

    Very cool - almost certainly illegal but as you say - catch me if you can.

    they have to be removed on the spot, apparently a driver was stopped & given a 7day rectification notice then went on to hit a cyclist. officer involved got in quite a bit of bother so took out instantly now. When i removed mine the mess the glue left behind hindered vision more than the window tint did, no points or a fine either

    as a window tint supplier/fitter i can advise it is illegal to have the fronts tinted more than 35%, so basically as long as it lets 75% light through you would be fine, but to have limo on the front is asking to be done, and usual penalty is points on your license, is it worth it? also waste of money when you do get the points as not only will you get fined you will have to remove them at the roadside....

    They are not limo on the front dazab. Only limo on the rear window. Then the rear side two are dark smoke. And the front two are one grade lighter. Medium tint. They just look dark as the light is on them and the black interior doesn't reflect light like my old cream interior.

    Looks fantastic Mr Troll!

    As for the tints, meh I know many that have gotten away with them for years. I have a simple solution for you, when you see a police man out your windows down May look strange in the winter and if questioned simply answer "Im mad, I drive a Volvo".

    So when will she be getting a private reg?
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    Tell her a remap is just having your satnav updated.....

    Not that we endorse the above or any illegal activities. I know some of you have your very dark tints for show and remove them whenever you enter a public road. Obviously :-)

    Yes most certainly! It means you now have to attend every club event around the country to showcase the car
