It looks like a Cameleon tint, which are UK legal as long as they let in the correct amount of light as said by DrRobin.
I am surprised they haven't been outlawed though, due to traffic cameras not being able to identify the driver?

Thanks. I thought there was something about being able to see and identify the driver too. Maybe it isn’t a regulation though. But hence you couldn’t have essentially a 1 way mirror as your windscreen. Either way, can’t say I’m a fan. Something you expect to find on a chavved up Audi or BMW.The front windscreen must let at least 75% through and the front windows 70% through to be legal, see
www.gov.uk/tinted-vehicle-window-rules
It's difficult to tell from the photo but it could be legal, blocking 25% of the light is quite a heavy tint.

Found this, looks like it is probably suspect shaky ground tbh.

If you have seen George's Car Media on the socials, he works with the Traffic Police to jive advice on what's legal and not. Here is one on his Chameleon Tint.

Today I fitted the upgraded hose from Bravo for the snorkel. It is silicone rubber hose with a fiber middle layer and wire reinforcing on the outside to keep the inner surface smooth.
Before with original hose
New silicone hose
They also sent me an upgrades head clamp, as opposed to the jubilee clip.

I know, the engine bay needs a clean, it looks a lot worse on the pictures though.
