Please note that the UK Car Window Tinting Laws for tinted front windscreens and front side windows depend on when the vehicle was first used. There are no rules for tinting the rear windscreen or rear passenger windows.

Be aware that factory fitted windows are already tinted and by adding additional tinting may result in your vehicle no longer being compliant for road use, thus making it illegal. View the legislation from Section 76 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 and No. 1078 of The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations 1986 for guidance.
