I got a quote for my facelift estate in limo black and the general price for the rear 7 windows was around £180.

Don't the rear windows have to let in 75% of light (i.e., be 25% tinted or less) to be legal?

Very very shiney car. Completely mint.  8-)

No the rears can be 100% if you like, have had that on a few of my cars.. What you have state is only applicable for the front 2 side windows... BUT if you are going to get the fronts done have them checked first and see what the standard window tint is, then deduct this off the 30% rule.
E.G.
Standard windows 8%
Rule 30% - 8%
Get fronts then tinted 22% ONLY

OR In another term..
Front Window: 75% transmission of light into cabin
Front Sides: 70% transmission of light into cabin
Rear Windows: No specific limit of light into cabin

But also remember if you have tints on any window you must inform your insurance, due to it is a modification THAT can be classed as an impairment of vision out of the car.

All modern cars have their front and front sides set as max tint to start with. ANY additional tinting to the fronts would be an MOT failure and illegal.
