Looking well nice matey!

If I can put in an idea though, loose the orange repeater lights. Some clear ones, or even better crystal ones would look well nice on that!

I love tinted windows on mini's especially when body colour is different to the roof as it breaks it up.

Sweet alloys too.

Must say gorgeous looking car

Really liking the tints. I'm a new mini owner and want to get tints. Hope you dont mind me asking where you got yours and how much?
The dealer told me that when putting tints on after the car has been built the back passenger windows have a little gap where the bubbles are.
Is this true?

There is certainly no visible bubbles on the rear windows since the tint film has been added. I have had tints done before, but this is by far the best job I have seen!

I'm based in just outside Gloucester, and used a company in stroud to do it. Took 45 minutes to fit! Job done - and very pleased too!

If you want the details just PM me.

Unfortunately you are not allowed to get the front windows tinted in the UK any more. There was a change in the law in 2003, it's illegal for anything darker than the very slight tint that the standard factory glass has. They've got the whole situation stiched-up too, illegal to install, illegal to have installed, it's an MOT failure and if you get stoped, the police can class the car as unroadworthy, you won't be able to drive it home!
