    First I had 95% but way too dark in the evening and actually dangerous as you can’t see everything around you. So I changed them to 65%. As I had these on my disco 4 as well and I was actually happier with it.

    Here is the product: https://www.solarscreen.eu/film/en/119/aut...hera-265-c

    Illegal indeed for the front and front side windows, but you can ask permission from the government (if you are not a convicted criminal or so I suppose). Have it on all my cars and even when driving trough Europe I never had a problem, but of course I have not a EU plate, but an Albanian one for the moment. For insurance there was no problem. And I think that even in Europe you can have until 30%, but check locally of course. In attachment a picture with the 95%, if you want I can take a pic later from the current 65%. But as I have the blinds as well in the back, these windows always look way darker than with the factory privacy glass alone.

    On the disco 4 I had these ones or similar (anti smash & grab as were living in South Africa, no need for these in Albania Wink, but maybe for the UK or the rest of Europe as that is were some locals get ‘their’ car...

    2018 Discovery Sd4 (240) HSE Loire Blue

    i have the factory tinted windows... did u put them on top of those? i only really want them for the rear as they are illegal here but i'm sure they wouldn't be able to tell if i add them to the rear factory tinted windows.

    also anyone know if you can buy them pre-cut? just to make it more hassle free lol

    I have the factory fitted privacy glass as well for the back, did not put extra tint or foil on, but have the shades instead.
    For the front ones: it was not a pre-cut as best fit is when the whole glass is taken out (as they would when replacing it) and then the foil is put on. I once had it placed on the glass without it be taken out of the car and it was worse quality (you can easily see this on the top off the glass and check the ending of the foil) and it even coming loose a bit (and it had to be replaced).

    These pics are the 65% with sun full on and the factory fitted ones at the back with the extra non-fixed LR shades Wink
