Does vehicle wrapping cause damage?If your vehicle has original factory paint, installing and removing a premium grade vinyl wrap is designed not to damage your paintwork.

What are the types of vehicle wraps available?Full exterior wrap: Covers the entire exterior body panels of the vehicle. With an exterior wrap we wrap just enough inside of the door shuts so the original colour of the vehicle is not visible from the outside. Partial wrap: Covers specific sections of the vehicle, e.g. 3/4 wrap, 1/2 wrap, bonnet or roof wrap. Door shut wraps: The internal body panels in the original colour of the vehicle are an additional option that are not typically included on the cost of a 'wrap'. These parts can be wrapped but they take a greater amount of time to wrap than exterior panels. Colour change wrap: changes the exterior colour of the vehicle using one of the many available stock vinyls available from various vinyl manufacturers in a large range of colours, finishes and textures. Printed wrap: If the exact shade you require is not available in a stock vinyl for a colour change wrap it can be custom printed. Printed wraps are popular with commercial wraps for branding and advertising with eye-catching images.

Are Front Window Tints Legal In The UK?In the realm of automotive styling, window tinting is a sought-after service for car enthusiasts and those seeking enhanced privacy and protection from sunlight. However, a common question we often encounter at Utopia Tints is regarding the legality of front window tints. We've put together this guide to help clarify the rules surrounding this issue in the UK. UK Regulations on Window Tinting UK law on window tinting is clear: the front windscreen and front side windows have restrictions on how much they can be tinted, based on the amount of light they let through. For vehicles first used on 1 April 1985 or later: The front windscreen must let at least 75% of light through. The front side windows must let at least 70% of light through. For vehicles first used before 1 April 1985: Both the front windscreen and front side windows must let at least 70% of light through. It's important to note that these restrictions apply only to the front windscreen and front side windows. There are no specific rules for tinting the rear windscreen or rear passenger windows. Consequences of Non-Compliance - Points? Fines? Failing to adhere to these regulations can lead to penalties. The police or the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) vehicle examiners use light measuring equipment to measure window tint. If your windscreen or front side windows are tinted too much, you could face: A 'prohibition notice,' stopping you from using your vehicle on the road until you have the extra tint removed. A penalty notice or court summons. There does not seem to be any mention of penalty points on the government website for front window tints. For more detailed information, you can visit the official UK Government page regarding window tinting https://www.gov.uk/tinted-vehicle-window-rules. Conclusion Front window tints are NOT ROAD LEGAL. Remember, window tinting can offer numerous benefits, including aesthetic enhancement, glare reduction, increased privacy, and interior protection. But, it's crucial to consider the legal implications when deciding on tinting your vehicle's front windows. If you have any questions about window tinting or other car styling services, feel free to contact us. We're always here to help you make the best decisions for your vehicle.
