Awesome car you've built up there, JCW225!!

Really looking forward to more pics...

Went to your website but I can't find any of the videos you mention.

St00ge · May 11th, 2006, 10:18 AM

good stuff mate. You've probably got one of the best minis on here. i wish i could space out my rims a bit, gives a really aggressive look. But its not road-legal in OZ, so

Beware tho, i've heard that spacing out your rims can put more load on the suspension.

Thanks for the pics!

Try using window movie maker, that creates WMV files with quite good compression

We have added a 35% Tint to the Rear Windows and back Window plus what ever is legal to the passenger and Driver's Side Window's.
What can the front window's take legally ? Anyone ?
Info Gratefully received ?

My take on it was since the Mini windows come tinted, any extra tint takes them over the legal limit.

JCW225 · Jun 6th, 2006, 09:16 AM

I dont think our windows are tinted but you can tint the back windows - I think the Front Driver and Passenger Windows are a different law though.

cooper7 · Jun 6th, 2006, 10:03 AM

Spot on Pete, you can do any % tint on the rear windows but legally you cannot put anything on either of the front two or of course the windscreen

TallAndy · Jun 6th, 2006, 01:03 PM

Yup mine fronts driver / passenger are tinted with light smoke from pentagonglass, but i got pulled by a copper and he told he they were illegal. Even got his tint master out to prove it

Sorry to appear stupid Andy but what the Heck is a Tint Master ?

TallAndy · Jun 6th, 2006, 02:28 PM

A device that measures how much light can pass through an object. The copper held it up the air and said look its reading 100%

He then placed one part on the inside of my window and the other on the outside and it read out 50% ish I think legal is 70% i think
