Post Smoking the windows

Hey there

My dealer quoted £300 but I'll be shopping around. I've heard that typically it costs around £150-£200 depending on the size of the car. Given the relative size of the mini I'd expect to be at the bottom end of that range. Will post update as and when.

Post pics if you go ahead with this. I think it'll look pretty darn cool!

Later...

Pentagon Auto Tint are the only people to let touch your windows the quality of their work is top dollar...

Cooper will cost £245 for tinted windows or you can spend an extra £100 and have that special security film put on as well making your car impenitrable to smash and grab thiefs!!!

I think they are located accross the UK definately in London. They are always advertising in the back of the more respectable car magzines i.e. CAR and EVO

This car is going to lose me my license one day. I LOVE IT!!!

Reply from an enquiry to Pentagon via their website:

-------------------------
Thank you for your enquiry regarding our product.

The cost of installing tinted supaglass to your vehicle would be £495 + VAT we would require the vehicle on our premises for 2 days.

If I can be of any further help, please do not hesitate to contact me again.
--------------------------

£582 - ouch

No MINI for 2 days - ouch

No thanks Pentagon.

Not a real 'Barginn' any more, as you'll have to remove the film from the front windows. From 1st Jan 2004 virtually all front passenger window tints are illegal...

...all you are allowed is the slight tint that the MINI glass has from the factory plus a clear security film.
