Hi,

Has anyone seen, or have pictures of the new £50 so-called "Top Tint Windscreen" yet?

I am very interested to know what colour, the coverage and the shade that they offer as I personally think that the sun-visors in my MINI are next to useless.

When you do, can you post them here please?

Many thanks

I had one added to my order when they were announced, as mine was to be built just after the 2003 change.

I thought that it might help out the tiny sunvisors.

To be honest, in retrospect, I think that it is a waste of money, and I would have been better spending the £50 on something else.

Have a look in my gallery for pictures.

The only upside, is when the screen breaks, as it almost did a couple of weeks ago, Autoglass (or whoever) cannot fit a non BMW/MINI screen as none of the aftermarket companies make them. When Autoglass enquired it would need to be shiped specially from Germany, and would take at least a week. I think the cost to the insurer was going to be fairly horrendous.

Cripes!

That is a microscopically small border and it's way too light too. Let's hope they increase the tint and depth of it soon else no one would want it.

What a shame...

I must agree, I had this added to our MINI to compliment the tinted windows. To be honest if I was ordering again I would leave it out as ok its there and you do see it but I dont think it really does anything.

I have added a picture of the top tint windscreen in my gallery also.

My my, your MC is nice spod.

It must have cost an arm-and-a-leg looking at all the bits-and-bobs you have on it. And I must say that the Silver/Black Union Flag looks very nice to boot. I thought that they might look a little too much, but looking at it, it's very subtle and cohesive. Nice stripes too. Rather like my bespoke ones

Maybe look here to see how fashionable and trendy you are...
