I've got a pair of sliding windows series doors on my 90 and I'm think of tinting the windows on them, DVLA says that the front windows have to let 70% of light through so I'm probably going to go for 25% because of the imperfections in glass will stop some light.

The question is, as the two parts slide over each other does that then make it a 50% tint and there for going to get a tug from the old bill?
 
Not sure I'd want tint on a series but each to their own! I am not a legal expert but would imagine the overlap doesn't count as the window is open at that point
 
Still pretty chavvy! :D

On the upside, there aren't many traffic police around now, and they don't know much about old vehicles, so you are unlikely to get a problem unless you are in a serious accident.

Yeah I suppose it's a bit chavvy, this is my first Landy Project but old habits die hard I guess.

The question about Car Tint Near Orlando, as the two parts slide over each other does that then make it a 50% tint and there for going to get a tug from the old bill?
Yes, if both sliding sections have 25% tint, the overlapped area will let through only about 6% of light, which is well below the 70% legal requirement. To stay compliant, each pane would need a much lighter tint, around 70–75% VLT.
 
Pretty Chavvy but I think it'll look alright, but as my name suggests I'm a bit of a C**T.
Welcome to Landy Zone.
You'll do well here as you clearly have a sense of humour!
Some people make a post, get the pi$$ ripped out of them for it and leave in a huff!
If you fitted those doors for leg room, have you moved your seat to the left for extra elbow room? I removed the cubby box and moved my seat more to towards the centre of the car.
