Hi everyone,

I own a professional window tinting company called Mint Tints in the South West, just wanted to say that if anybody is trying to tint their windows and has ended banging their head against a wall > just give me a shout and ill try and help you out with tips and ideas!!

Also i own a sign company with my other half and if anybody wants any bespoke decals etc - give me a shout! We can design and provide the decal and tips for fitting them.

Ill post some pics later of some window tatooing that we did on my sisters Mini!

Thanks, Claire

By the way not doing this to advertise - just wanted to give my fellow mini owners a helping hand!

can you get tint that looks black on the outside but is totally clear on the inside so you can actually see?

Cool - they look good, nice job! We get all of our films from a company Darts Filmz they are on the web and they sell to the general public! The film is a professional film rather than that Max Power pants stuff, which we refuse to fit!!!

Unfortunatly, No! However, the best film to use from then would be 20% because it will let in quite a bit light but still give you the dark look!
