Lowerd perfetly smooth clean and I did recognise it from Motorvation here where a gawjus young blondie I at the drivers seat. Yer back to the question LOL

Im pretty positive its never legal under any circumstances to tint a front window.

I looked up as much info as i could in my little black book and this is what is ses about window tinting

Glazing (windscreen and windows)

No material or other object is to be located on the
windscreen or windows which will interfere with the
driver’s vision. Tinted windscreens are permitted subject
to the screen having an optical transmission of not less
than 75 per cent for a motor vehicle built after 1971 and
70 per cent for any other vehicle.

Transparent material used in a windscreen, window or
interior partition of a motor vehicle manufactured after
June 1953, must have the characteristics required by any
of the following standards:


Vehicles with non-tinted glass

Automotive tinting material which has a light
transmittance factor of not less than 35 per cent (T35)
may be used on any non-tinted side or rear window.


Vehicle with factory-tinted glass

Most new vehicles are fitted with tinted window glass.
This tint is very light and glass may at first appear to be
clear. To check, hold a piece of white paper on the
opposite side of the glass. If it has a slight grey, green or
brown colour when viewed through the glass, the glass
is tinted.
Special grades of film may be applied to factory tinted
windows. When these films are applied to tinted glass,
the combination of tints must still allow 35 per cent
light transmittance.


Windscreens

Tinting may be fitted to the upper portion of a
windscreen of a motor vehicle. The tinting must not
extend lower than a horizontal line connecting the
uppermost points of the arcs swept by the vehicle
manufacturer’s original wiper blades or the upper
10 per cent of the windscreen, whichever is the lesser.
The tinting may be of any shade but must not have
a reflectance of more than 10 per cent.
General requirements
for window tinting
Film which has a reflectance of more that 10 per cent
must not be used on any windscreen or window.
