Looks good. Couldn't find any headlight mirror tint for sale in the UK. What % mirror did you use (or % light transmission). 50% transmission is apparently MOT legal here.

I don't know the exact tint percentage because the sellers on ebay just list either dark or light tint, but if I were to guess, I'd say 40% based on my previous experience with window tint. The tint matches the corner trim really nice and blend well together.

I can't quite tell from the pics, but is that a mirrored tint, or a smoked one?
