Offline | MINI filth! Is there really no way to keep the back of a MINI cleaner? At the moment it is taking me about 4 days post-clean before I can no longer read the rear number plate (hmmm, I wonder about those Gatso's.....). The sides of the car are virtually spotless! I'm also using washer fluid by the gallon just to see our of the back. It doesn't help that it insist on squirting a whole load over the xenons every time I wash the windscreen - looks pretty cool though! |

Offline | Don't do it! My better half was encouraged to get them by her driving school colleagues to keep the back of the car cleaner, and in spite of being advised against them by the salesman went ahead. They don't look good and don't do much either - the tailgate still gets filthy. They cost £6.50 for the fronts and £15.00 for the rears........ but the sting was the £148.05 for fitting! She won't bother on her next MNI! MCS JCW CR/CR  ; MOD LY/B |

Offline  | MINI facts of life: 1) MINI's are a hoot to drive 2) MINI's are very addictive 3) MINI's get filthy very very quickly. See this thread for examples...  http://mini2.com/forum/showthread.ph...ght=dirty+mini Anyways, if it helps any, I'm came to MINI from a tweaked Supra. I haven't looked back...  Lee |
