It's also really annoying to reverse in the dark, you can barely see a thing.

Not worth the work and hassle imo.

The Mini Designer's had Tint as Standard in the Specification? Would it be Illegal to keep the original tinting then? :wacko: Posted Image

Pretty sure the tint in that photo is Photoshopped. I doubt they'd have a car come out the factory with that much tint!

The tint on the Designer Minis is probably barely noticeable.

Some cars for adverts had all the windows tinted even the front screens but it was purely for the brochures etc and then it was removed again.

Just noticed it ticked every box in the 'mods you hate thread'

Black silver plates
Clear lenses
13x7's
Wide arches
Tinted windows
Bonnet stripes

Anyway that's a different subject, Carry on.......
