the argument is that you wont be able to see out of the windows as well, so (for example) you could possibly pull out of a junction thinking its safe when in fact it's not, because of your 'impaired' vision through your windows

I'm not a fan of the rule either, but it does make sense

I'm with Harris on this one, really not to my taste. You should know that your tints are already tinted from factory, so by applying the minimum you're making them automatically illegal. IMO should have really gone for different wheels, lowering should come first above all as well.

I think it will look alright if you lower it, get the gti splitter and fog lights on there!

I am not a massive fan on tints especially dont like all round tints.

also why just smooth the rear bumper? I think that will look strange. Either do the whole car or dont bother IMO.

got potential though dude!

Its not been styled the way i would, but its your car.

surely he didnt make you take them off there and then, cos they arent allowed to do that....have to either give you fixed penalty or an mot requisition which means you would have 14 days to take them off, get an mot station to prove they are off and then take it the police station.

Im only 18, this is my second car because the first polo got written off, i wish i could smooth everything, have some DZ Exclusives or RM's with a 1.8t engine but there are some restrictions, and plus money dont grow on trees 8)

Thanks for the comments either way, but the more i do the car the more it will on grow those dissliking it at the moment :D
