    Looks like the car had a fire in it or was submerged in the Irish Sea for the weekend, sometimes you do wonder why people spend good money to put what they perceive as "improvements" on the car which actually make it look rubbish.

    Is that not illegal though anyway? (tinting the windscreen). It's not like they can hide it either

    Similar to the Renault windscreen, from certain angles when coming towards you the windscreen looks green/yellow/purple due to the factory tint in it.

    Creeping goggles for your car, for when mirrored shades just won't cut it.

    Notice something similar with certain makes of car.

    For example seen some mondeos with that purple, blue, yellow glare in the windscreen, depending how you look at it (zetec spec) whereas other zetec specs don't have it at all. Some sort of extra?

    Nope!

    Can also tint front side windows and windscreen!
    Must allow 65% of light through.

    Yeah, but most cars come with a slight factory tint anyway, even if it doens't look as such, so basically anything you put on top of that will put you below the legal threshold.

    Can be seen on quite a few Renaults and some Mercs an BMWs with polarised sunglasses.
