I remember a poster on here defending his tinted windows before. Said they were perfectly safe, he just needed to put down his windows sometimes when it was a dark night......

Tinting a windscreen on the other hand, makes you wonder.

What's the story with those massive stripes fellas are sporting these days, the ones that cover more than half the windscreen. I assume there is a gap in rules about them as the lower part of the window isn't tinted, just 80% of the window ye cant see out of!

I'd assume they pass the NCT until a rule is made/changed? Or are these removed for NCT?

Well tint will block light. I'd say the front windshield has 35% VLT tint judging by the visibility of the discs which means only 35% of light hitting the windshield will come through it.

The front lights are probably something like 85% VLT. Put both of those together and I'd say he can see f*ck all driving at night...

Tinted windscreens are a pain but you wouldn't believe how easy they are to get used to. Pain in the arse though I'd never do it to my own cars.

Easy to get used to seeing nothing

Headlight film looks like lamin-x

How does he even get through checkpoints? Gardai should be pulling him over straight away if the discs are masked behind tint.

Not for sale but what a pile. Saw it on a cars for sale Facebook group and someone was complimenting it. I'd say the owners has great fun driving it at night with full window tint (including windshield) and tinted headlights.

Some people are just daft. Might as well get some hard plastic tyres too.

That's about as socially acceptable as wearing a pair of sun glasses at night. No purpose, only vanity. You might get away with it if you're famous, like the car from Knight Rider or Bono, but otherwise you just look like a knob

What I'm wondering is why the Guards haven't confiscated it yet and turned into a cube?

Surely you'd be pulled for a windscreen like that!!

Why would they crush it? If anything, they'd just make him pull the tint off

It's totally impossible that it doesn't make a difference.
They are usually substantially dimmer and trying to drive that teamed with a tinted windscreen must be a joke at night.

Nah, they're grand on the Corsa I see around the place. Never noticed them being any dimmer at all.

The mother of all CB aerials

The cable routing for the aerial is ideal too.

I had subtly tinted headlights on my Bora and S3 passed multiple NCTs' and never effected light output. Admittedly both cars were factory xenon headlights.

ShaunieVW · 24-06-2016 02:58PM

Same here I had Lamin X tint on the headlights of a mk4 golf, made absolutely zero difference to light output. Tinted windscreen looks crap though! Apart from that leave him at it its his car he likes it.

shietpilot · 24-06-2016 04:12PM

Yeah but the argument here is that he has a heavily tinted front windscreen AND tinted headlights, both reducing visibility at night.

Imaging driving that thing at night with heavy rain. Ho-lee-chit.

Yeah not defending the tinted windscreen,it's the backward baseball cap of the car world.

^ Needs to be black with an A-Team Stripe on the side.

Not that bad TBH.

I'v just seen the inside!!

Yeah I'll pass!

davycc · 02-07-2016 03:26PM

im fine with the outside but the inside is wrecked! seller is a tool ! thinks he has a great deal scamming the dopes at vrt to have cleared as a 2006 van when its really a 94..

i just asked him has he reged it yet

colm_mcm · 02-07-2016 06:07PM

They're a hit dim when it comes to registering cars imported to the uk and then exported to Ireland. They look at the first date of registration in the uk and often go off that.
Remember the guy with the celica or supra or something, 90 but got a 99 reg
Friend brought in a 00 car, regged in the U.K. In 02 Gave him 02 reg till he corrected them (vrt was higher)

That yoke wasn't taxed or NCT'D since 2013.. I don't get the need to add photos of expired (by nearly three years) tax and NCT Discs.
5.5k no nct? Interesting...

Edit.. It hasn't seen an Nct centre since 2011!!!

Cortina_MK_IV · 03-07-2016 12:38PM

The lads in Fort motors must have been having a giggle at him taking the photos of it.
