Our Window Tint Options

Clear Polycarbonate Windows
Clear polycarbonate is our most popular choice, known for its crystal-clear visibility and robustness. Available in 4mm or 5mm thickness options, including a hard-coated version for added durability, clear polycarbonate is a versatile solution for side and rear windows. It’s UK road legal on all sides and rear windows, making it a practical yet performance-focused choice for motorsport and street vehicles alike.
Bronze Polycarbonate Windows
For those seeking a distinctive aesthetic, our bronze polycarbonate windows deliver a stylish hue that complements classic and modern vehicles. With a 42% light transmission, this unique bronze tint is integrated directly into the polycarbonate material, ensuring long-lasting performance without fading. It’s available in 4mm thickness and is UK road legal for rear windows only, adding a bold touch to vehicles like Ford Escorts, Opel Mantas, and others.

Should You Choose Clear or Bronze Polycarbonate?

Choosing between clear and bronze polycarbonate depends on your driving environment and personal style preferences. Clear polycarbonate offers a straightforward look with maximum clarity and is suitable for all-around visibility, ideal for competitive and club motorsports. Bronze polycarbonate, on the other hand, adds a unique tint that not only enhances your vehicle’s visual appeal but also provides a slight reduction in glare, making it a popular choice for classic cars on the track.

Are Clear and Bronze Polycarbonate Windows Road Legal?

In the UK, both clear and bronze polycarbonate windows meet specific road legality requirements. Clear polycarbonate is fully road legal on all side and rear windows, giving you maximum flexibility for track and street use. Bronze polycarbonate, while also approved for motorsport use, is road legal only for rear windows due to its tinted nature, ensuring safe and compliant use on public roads.
