JCW rear & side sun shades...

Hey there everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has these on their F56?
I'm not sure if I feel like committing to having my windows tinted and was thinking about these.
The pictures on miniusa.com are not the best so it's hard to get a good idea of what they're like.
Any reviews and/or pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I can't speak for these but if they're similar in design to the R55 shades I imported from Germany, I might pick up a set. My R55 shades were held in place by tension (fit inside the window frame) and worked very well. Expensive, but worth every penny.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it.

I to had shades on my R56. Although they are a Mini product the fit on the side windows were perfect but the back window had a little sag in the middle, used a tie in the center. Good product however with my F56 I opted for tint. After trying both ways I prefer the tint fwiw.
