Well heres how i done it, on the direct line website somewhere (can't remember where) it says no modifications are aloud unless they come manufacture standard (basically out the factory like that) so i phoned up and asked if i took my car to the manufacturer (bmw) and got manufacture tints (30%, 50%, 80% .. i went with 80) so its getting done properly by the people who built the car... spent about 5 mins talking "no you cant bla bla bla" so they eventually got someone else and they told me that would be ok if i got it done, just give them a bell right after its out the shop. so i phoned back the day before the tints and just explained again what ive been told, whats on the site etc and they told me yeah thats fine.. so next day got the tints and phoned back to declare them and the woman told me i wont be insured on the car, so all i had to do is tell them what it said on the website, tell them where i got them done what percentage and that its manufacturing standard, and tell her i've been told on two seperate occassions that it would be ok to get the tints, so she then declared it on my insurance and im probably one of the few young drivers who is actually insured with direct line with tints declared!

The average cost of getting onto the road for the first time is £4,459, according to research by the Co-operative Insurance.
Included in this total are the cost of driving lessons, road tax, driving tests and insurance, plus the expense of buying a first car.
The average 18-year old owns a Vauxhall Corsa worth £1,450 and will have to pay more than £2,000 per year for insurance.
In addition, 20 driving lessons mean an outlay of £480, two driving tests mean paying £62 for each, while £111 goes on a provisional licence, theory test and road tax.
Grant Mitchell, head of motor insurance at the firm, said: "Our research shows that although today's young drivers own their first car from an earlier age than their parent's generation, the cost of actually getting on the road is huge.
"Unfortunately, the biggest challenge is the cost of car insurance which has risen at a disproportionate rate for young drivers because they are involved in more accidents on the roads," he added.
