Professional tinting quote for the V70 R. About right?

[volvokid]

Id almost guarantee your car will be at maximum legal tint for the front. You get a fine and points if you get cought. My mate got cought.
The company I use for doing windows take the Windows out and they tell you the wont touch the fronts

I know. They re did everything expect the off side main glass. Got home for a second time and spotted a tiny inclusion. Had a quick rant at them to satisfy at least something inside me and lost the will after that. Will know better next time, and it is not usually like me to give up on anything like that.

So laser must have been illegal, cos they were a lot darker than Nautic. I did used to avoid unwanted attention when I saw cop cars, just in case they were too dark. Like I say, they were done before I bought that car.

Question:- looking on the web and I see we can have tint that allows 70% light to the front windows, but that says when they aren't already tinted. Our cars are already tinted, so is the 70% legal or not? What's the worst if you get caught with too deeper tint?

You will be told to remove it before you carry on your way

[volvokid]

Its not something I would recommend but its up to you. Stormtroll was the last guy I said this too but he didnt listen, his is pitch black. Ive no sympathy if he gets cought lol.

That's what happened to Iancho, they made him take his off.

[foammanmark]

This was laser, and you can see how dark the front windows were. Legal, maybe not..............

It looks good I just couldn't be bothered with it, my sphincter would be twitching every time I passed the po po

Fair comment. How often do you see the plod up there anyway?

[volvokid]

Not that much really the traffic cops have they're campaigns now and again. Your mostly likely to get cought with tints in town though.

I'm coming upto Forres for a wedding in June, and my Dad keeps warning me about speed cameras on various roads up there. I'll be up for 2-3 days whilst I sober up after the do.

[volvokid]

Cool forres isnt that far from me. Im not sure if you would be passing aberdeen or going the inverness way. There are a few set speed cameras up here. Just set your cruise to 75 and you wont get flashed.

I'll give you a shout nearer the time and we could have a mini-meet. Cruise doesn't work on the R, but I'll probably come in the C70 as the saving will be large, and the cruise works. It's about 350 each way I believe, so 20 gallons in the C70 as I usually get 35.

Yeah give me a shout. I couldn't be bothered with that journey without cruise. Have you checked the relay on the R

I haven't as yet. There's been way too much other stuff TBH, but I'm getting there. Accelerator cable and a minor oil leak are the next things to be done, and then I may have a look at the cruise, but the amount of times I use it really makes me think whether its worthwhile even bothering.

[volvokid]

I know the guy who had mine had just fitted a new relay before I got mine all those years ago. Hope its simple.
Oh if you venture to Fraserburgh you will see the scrap saffy
