Tinting Series Windows

Michael Hunt · Jul 1, 2023

I've got a pair of sliding windows series doors on my 90 and I'm think of tinting the windows on them, DVLA says that the front windows have to let 70% of light through so I'm probably going to go for 25% because of the imperfections in glass will stop some light.

The question is, as the two parts slide over each other does that then make it a 50% tint and there for going to get a tug from the old bill?

Not sure I'd want tint on a series but each to their own! I am not a legal expert but would imagine the overlap doesn't count as the window is open at that point

Have you considered lowering leafs and chassis mounted neons?

It's a 90 not a series, the series doors were put on to give a bit more leg room, so not a chavvy as ruining an actual series with tints.

Still pretty chavvy!

On the upside, there aren't many traffic police around now, and they don't know much about old vehicles, so you are unlikely to get a problem unless you are in a serious accident.

The question is. Why do you want to tint the windows? Someone tinted the windows on my p38 before I got it. Bloody horrible to drive at night with them.

Yeah I suppose it's a bit chavvy, this is my first Landy Project but old habits die hard I guess.

Pretty Chavvy but I think it'll look alright, but as my name suggests I'm a bit of a C**T.

I trust your halo lights and low profiles look dandy with the tints.
