I could be wrong, but I don't think the factory ever tinted the front side windows.

I have had a few with factory tints and had to put film on the fronts - and you're not even supposed to do that Whistle

Is it possible that the one you are not replacing actually has a film on it? When done really well you cannot easily tell. Open the window and get a hair dryer on the very top edge and see if anything lifts. You will find it hard to ever get a full match while this is still on unless you use a light meter and have access to a full range of films / manufacturers. Good luck. 2013 L405 AB 4.4SDV8 Luxor/Ivory, 2007 Vogue TDV8 Epson Green/Sand, 2008 Vogue TDV8 Buckingham Blue/Sand, 2003 Vogue 4.4 LPG Epsom Green/Sage, 1998 Vogue SE 4.6 LPG Epsom Green/Cream

Yep. Fronts never were factory tinted, it is illegal to do so. There has to be a minimum light transmittance which is basically the glass plus a very very very slight colour. Not what you would call a tint!

If you have tints on the fronts I would get them off as its liable to get you stopped and fined. I have a factory tinted car and they tint the windows from the B pillar back, you can tell if the rest of the car has factory tints by looking at the rear screen and boot side windows. If the heating strips show up as pronounced orangy lines then the tints are aftermarket if they are less visible then it's factory. The factory ones have coloured glass not film so the heaters are concealed by the tint!
