Scotland 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 GS Auto Fuji White

Rear windows medium tint, both front door windows legal light tint on very expensive film which reduces UV by at laest 80%. This is a medical essential as I have almost zero tollerance to sunlight and wear factor 60+ on a dull day.
The rear tints are slightly darker than front and only done as car would look weird with front only tinted.

Not all posers or drug dealers. All FL2's (3) Gone
2011 Mercedes C180 CGI Gone
FL2 GS Auto SD with heated leather, factory tints, alloy spare and a few other bits.

The problem with privacy glass is you pull up at a busy junction wanting to turn left, the car on your right has drug dealer tinted glass and so you can't see if owt is coming.

Blasted pain in the butt. Sadly some even think it looks good but believe me it doesn't. Just buy some decent sunglasses, they work much better and you can take em off when the sun goes in, and lets face it, that's most of the time in the UK.........


In all my years having tints, I have never had an issue with not being able to see properly when driving. Do you not think manufacturers would be allowed to do this if it was a safety issue. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

I can see pros and cons to tinted windows. My fl2 doesn't have them and it doesn't bother me either way. One of the pros of untinted is that you can be seen to acknowledge your thanks to other drivers being courteous to you from the side or behind. 2007 TD4 SE Manual
