As with everyone else, his profile is there to see (Poland).
I'm guessing the spots dried up in the time it took him to fit the springs.
Tinted front side windows are also legal in the UK, if you want.
Windscreen and front side windows must let in minimum 70% light.
Rear side windows can be as dark as you like.

If you compare the two pictures and the fluorescent light showing through the front side windows, in this country and Scotland the tinting is too dark.

Don't know how you can determine the percentage of light that's able to pass through the side windows to determine their UK legality from a photo.
But whatever you say.

Out of interest, what is your law on windscreen and front(side) windows?
Here we must have 70% light allowed through.
Your front(side) windows don't look very dark to me, I can easily see the dashboard/steering wheel.

I guess that we have to have around 60% visibility as well, and 100% in front. Front are not tinted, rear is tinted from factory and it for 100% meets all the standards. Otherwise it would not be road legal.

Different angles???? If you look at the position of the car against the background, plus the lowering of the car 50mm? then look at the fluorescent tube on the front side window. it's a reflection because it's also on the door panel just below the window. But why is the reflection a lot darker in the second photo?

You could say "smoke and mirrors"
