The law wrote:

The law states any vehicle windows must allow at least 70 per cent of light through. Gardai can test windows with light monitoring equipment. Tinting films can be bought legally but have to come with warnings saying they can not be used on windscreens or front side windows. However, these warnings are often ignored.

The company can do the windows legally for you but its up to you to only use the car for shows and the likes and not to drive the car on public roads, if you met a thick garda he could use the law stating that your vechicle is dangerous because of the heavy tints and give you penalty points and a hefty fine, I haven't heard of this happening yet though

Was gettin tint done on a car lately, and i was chatting away to a fella. Normally we do a 30%-40%-50% etc., 50% being a fairly light tint. The English have a maximum of 70%:eek:.

The reason u are allowed limo tint on the back is because it was said if people can drive commercials without the use of the back windows, why can't people do the same with their normal cars. That was the arguement and it worked:D.

There aren't any actual testers that the guards have atm, so it'sonly what they "think" is too dark. Alls good:D

I was thinking of gettin tint on me own car. Was thinking dark-ish all round OR Light enough on the front two and a bit darker on the back.
It's silver btw. Any opinions. I don't what it to look scumbaggy:o

some other goverment agency does have the testers though, i'm not sure if its customs or some other department but I know they do have them, dont understand why they cant give them to the gardai.

as i'd rather it be properly tested than just up to what a gardai thinks, not that it'll ever effect me because i think tints are tacky

Ah now, less of it. Don't turn it into a b*tchy thread.

Anywho, swiftly moving on. I think the tint is a bit iffy too, especially on silver.

a tip. When trying to sell a car, dont tell: i am trying to get rid of them bouth. It just scares away customers, not attracts them

Though that focus looks really cool. And is that redtop vectra? i had an opel calibra 2.0 redtop. Was one hell of the car!

Was making a general statement on the state of the selling market, that was all.

Nope not a redtop, although in fairness, the car does pull well

Well I know he had toke other pictures of the car down because his house was clearly visible or cause of other cars in the drive! I'm saying block it for security, people working within certain departmental jobs would be able to search for the car, find it's fixed address and god forbid steal it or something!

It's a word of advice for NiSmO...is that ok with you now?!

Well there is thousands of same cars just outside to be honest, and do extra research on a car i sow online? those number plates wount make it easyer to steal it, you still dont have keys from it .

Your telling me there's thousands of '08 1.4 TSI's in this country?!?! I didn't say that you would, I said people could! The number plates allow the car to be traced, and don't be so naive...car's can be hot-wired and if it' outside the house it would be possible to break in and take the keys....just like any car outside any house!

allybhoy

This was mine and the missus's old car, sold it 2months ago. I think it was/is a little bit tacky but you certainly got the looks driving around in it.

Is well worth it though, i met a lad, r_wilson at a meet in Dublin, his engine running for ovr an hour and the engine was still only warm to touch, unreal.

gline

sounds great, i have heard they are capable of a lot of cooling alright.

anyone recommend a (cheapish) garage for fitting?

eddiehead

No time like the present I suppose, its not heavily modded or anything but it fits in better here than the motors forum.

Captain Slow IRL

Nice - you should stick some black alloys on it, and a darker tint on the windows:cool:

Nah, only got those alloys recently, fitted a HKS Silent hi-power exh yesterday, coilovers next I think. Im happy enough with how it looks at the moment, id just like it a bit lower.

northdublin

its hard to make an altezza look differant but thats a clean looking car and the wheels suit it very well imo. ied like to hear how the hks silent sounds, there are far too many altezzas goin around with stupidly noisey exhausts that ruin the pressence they have on the road
