Don't believe tinting the window will void the warranty but u should worry about the Police instead, after talking to Conrad yesterday.

By law there is a certain % of tint allowed, different for front and back windows. Some shops can show you how to get a check by Transport Dept. and get a conformance certificate. Then, you just show it to the police when ask.

ac,

How much is the tint from Conrad?

I know most 7-seaters, cut the glue off and swap the windows for checking, afterwards they just put them back.

I wanna do it for uv protection more than cosmetic. My wife doesnt want sun tan. And my old car was really ruin by uv. The plastic / rubber melted over time. Had to strip and repaint those parts.

Also the interior temperature will be much lower during summer with the tint. For my black car it will help a lot.

Just don't wanna tint too dark tough. Very difficult to see.

BTW any one knows if they can wrap the parts? Wanna wrap the fins at the front bumper in different color.

Thanks in advance.
just found out from some good info on mods from the police transport.
He say that tint will 100% fail the MOT and you will get stopped.
a member has beet stopped 4 days ago and had to take it off.
The gov is very stricked on the mods on cars these few months but our cars still got 6 years before MOT so it might be OK

I have it on both of my cars and planning to take it off.

You mean the 30% threshold is no more?
