LTA disapprove your tint ???!

[Sliderzhil]

Hey guys did LTA disapprove your tint before ?! what will they do ? Ask you to remove it and come back? Or just tell u its too dark and get it removed soon? Anyone got away with it? Pls advise!

If I didn't remember wrongly, it is S$80 fine and just removal.

My dad drove his car for inspection himself, v-kool failed both front windows and front windscreen. Then he drove to his mechanic and the mechanic drove it in, pass, no hassle.

hmm..which type of vkool was that....tot vkool is LTA complaint

[Thepukster]

My dad did his V-Kool in Nov 1999, back then no tint was legal yet, his car is 50% tint all round, so naturally, rear windows & windscreen can pass but front portion cant.

[Sliderzhil]

Yours is special case ah haha v-kool old-timer loyal customer... like tt everyone just ask their mechanic drive in pass liao ?? haha your mechanic power

[Thepukster]

Yup, it depends if your mechanic is willing to do so or not. Usually the mechanics will know the inspectors pretty well.

hi

i did my tint in JB and was failed by LTA. no fine though. just asked me to remove and go back. that's what i did, removed and went back. the inspector just approve without even looking at my car. i guess depends on luck...for us drivers, lah. maybe can try getting some mechanic to send in your car for inspection, like what the other guys said.

i went to jb to do the tint....my mechanic say if fail LTA, on the spot tear down the film ask LTA 4 a black white go back to him and he will stick back at no charge

[Smurfy76]

yah.. I usually need to change my exhuast system,headlight, tear down sunshade,solar film etc while going for the annual inspection as these are a few area of non compliance. this year my technician drove my car there and they just passed all the test...

[Battmann]

i think it is quite a job to tear out the film. and the cleaning of the glue is also quite tough....so your mechanic's challenge would be a tedious one for you...i have seen the guys took out my JB film and it is not easy. although they are pretty fast but that's because they do it every day. anyway, all the best to your inspection. i heard it is a random check...guess i am not so lucky

[Battmann]

wow...that's a lot of pre-work for the inspection...btw, how often is the inspection? just had my first inspection after 3-yrs.

[Smurfy76]

Im driving a 14yrs old car(COE)...

So it a yearly event

 

hope can get the technician to drive down for me for the next few years

[Brendonlow8]

yo battmann ....just got back frm reservist in australia..ya i pass the LTA test..basically just clam some machine to ur windows get the reading and pass!
