I had added a front window tint and had them add graphics. Not a great photo because it was pouring rain outside the shop.
Picture is in my gallery.
I really need to figure how to insert a picture into my post.

 

Right click the pic then choose "Copy Image Location"- then use the "Insert Image" button in the posting form (looks like a tiny yellow picture of a mountain).

Looks fun! What grade is the tint and what did it cost you? I'm considering doing something like this myself (without the lettering)...

 

I had it done in Bartow, FL. Place called Hollywood Tinting. It was $20 for the tint and $35 for the custom made letters. I was going to do just white letters but the girl there suggested I do the 'S' with red in white. I like it. The backwards idea was mine, but have seen others with different things.
Thanks for the tip. I am guessing it's a 'control' click on a Mac.>>

 

Backwards? But in a Cooper S.. nobody should be in front of you!

 

they accidentally tinted from the outside.

 

It's legal to tint the fronts in Fla?

 

There's a "line" in the windshield roughly ~6"s down that you are allowed to tint. He tinted the top, not the whole winshield. Tinting the whole windshield looks awesome, but is also illegal on ANY percent tint.

That's what I thought.....lol

 

Would you believe, so I can read it from the inside?

 

They tinted down 2 3/4" only. Looks awesome and it helps my eyes.

 

Has it happened to any of you:
So i had my MCS tinted this past weekend and they couldnt do the front windows because the window comes down, then the guy preceded to show me his M3 and showed me this pin along side the door that holds the window up when the door is open, is the such a thing for the MINI? they couldnt find it

any help would be appreciated

 

Geez, there's a thread somewhere on this but I can't find it right now...

Anyway, there's a way to temporarily disable the dropping action - something like 'open the door, put window down a couple of inches, put window back up, close the door' - then do the opposite to re-activate. Remember, I'm not sure if this was exactly the instructions, but maybe you'll have better luck finding the thread that I did!

 

I think the guy that did mine just used a screwdrive to simulate the latch
post on the door frame. With the door open, he used the screwdriver to
operate the latch mechanism and that caused the window to go back to
the top. When done, he just unlatched the door using either the inside
or outside handle.

 

Thanks guys, i will try your suggestions and see if they work!

 

It's off topic (a first on NAM, I know ), but it's not a bad idea to schedule your tint job so you can drive the car home and let it sit for a few days... The constant up/down of the window that happens when you open the doors can cause you some adherance issues in the lowest 1/4 inch of the window. One of our local club members had the job done, drove home, parked the car and went on a cruise that afternoon, leaving the tint to cure all week! It sure sounds like a good reason to take a cruise!

 

Here is the link to the prior post about the side windows dropping down.

After I had the windows done I was really worried about the window coming down, but no problems. Maybe the heat down here really bakes it on quickly, not sure. I even put the window down a couple of times. Force of habit, went up really quick. , like that would help. But no problems that I can tell.
