    Thought you couldn't tint windows anymore in cars? NCT fail straight away?

    Confusing really.

    You can tint your windows all you want but you will not pass the NCT. Buy a brand new car, tint those windows and 4 years later remove them before the NCT.

    However, most new cars come with around 15-30% of tint in the glass already some putting on what you think is 40% may actually be 55-70% tint making it hard to see.

    Not illegal though.

    From the NCT website:
    The glass in the windscreen and front side windows will be required to have a light transmission level of not less that 65% in order to pass the test.

    That will fail an NCT but you can still put in your car before or after the NCT.
