"the front windscreen and side front windows must allow at least 70% of any light to be transmitted through the glass."

Since January 2004, no tint is allowed infront of the B-Pillar
All cars, have a slight tint as factory standard.

what lee said is correct mate. no tint past the b pillar (other then factory standard) is allowed... if you do get it done the garage will probably as you to sign a waver to say that you understand it is illegal but still wish for the work to be carried out

honestly
R-Tec ( very high rep mod company) state they will tint forward windows but you MUST sign a waver of responsibility and acknowledgement to state that you know it is alegal and wont hold them reasponsible for any accidents or any criminal convictions.
we got the v reg golf done by them still had to sign the form. plus factory tints arent a film which gives it the darker look without obsucring light transparency like a film iirc.
