Tinted glass

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Loving the disclaimer.

The law

The law in the UK states that you have to allow a minimum of 70% of light through the front driver and passenger side windows meaning that you can legally install the 70% tint on these windows unless the glass is already tinted.

Come on Rob you know you want to, I can just see you cruising down the road in the white SD with blacked out windows... you might want to adjust the hydraulics to do all that jumping around and bouncing too, oh and become a drug dealer :lol:

I saw a Magenta S2 at WHM that had black leather and tints.

They may be illegal, but looked great.

If Rob has one done he would need a new forum name...Drugs-R-us..

I could go in stealth mode, car on her belly, and go under the radar. They're usually looking for big 4X4 things!! :D :D :D :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

Its that sort of attitude that will land you with a cap in yo ass Peter.

I can see it now, friday night, the first ccc rally of the year, Robert pulls up in his blacked out Estate slammed to the floor in the far corner of the field, rolling the window down just far enough to post the gear through but not so far as to ruin his clam bake, not sure there are too many closet basers in the ccc though but its got to be worth a shot :lol:

If it makes CXM go with even more of a bang, then that's OK...
