I think you will be very lucky to find any reputable company that would do this for you as it is illegal!!!!

You can get it done, but only slightly, probably so little that you won't notice.

I had the fronts done on my old car, got stopped at a VOSA check point, and was ordered to have it removed. I had a light tint on them which let in 34%, and the limit is 45%

The front windows on the MINI are already at the legal limit from the factory.

Going any darker is illegal.

mine wernt tinted as standard on mine.
my front ones are tinted to the legal limit and back are limo tint,
the front windows are noticible but only because you have seen the change, nobody else can tell, it is still very see through, so it is a waste of money really pal just get the back done, keep the dibble off yer back

here you go

this lads done lots of my cars, M3, Golf GTIetc, and hes coming Friday to do the coop. He will take it to the max of 35%, and when I go 70% on the back it does make them look darker, especially with a (deep) window strip on..... believe the Mini as standard are tinted a fraction but nowhere near the 35%. So in therory should make a difference ( hes charging me £170 for four and the window strip and he makes it look the dogs danglies...

Cappuccino Tints

First Mini for 15 yrs and lovin it
