Pics of Clubman Tint

My Clubman was delivered to the dealer today. They asked whether and to what extent I want the windows tinted. The maximum legal tint in these parts is 35%. Does anyone have pics of a Clubman with 35% tint? And, since I'm asking for a favor, let's go all the way -- does anyone have pics with that tint on a HC/B Clubman?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I'd already admired your car, so getting the tint details is a bonus.

I did, thanks... Actually I ended up getting mine for free because the tint company screwed it up on the first go around... MoD was super cool and did the right thing and had to redone at no cost to me. But I think the original cost was about $300, but that included having 5% limo put on the two sunroofs. I can't recommend doing the tint enough...

Thanks for the info gang,

Just got the Clubbie this week and going to tint next week - and I was debating on the front door windows. If I remember, my guy has basically a light, medium, and limo tint - I don't remember % numbers so I'll have to ask

.....but I'm guessing the light up front, and medium on the other 5 windows (no sunroof) like peet's.

Thanks to all who helped with this. I opted for 35% all around. I'll see soon how it turned out - I'm headed to the dealer today to pick up my first MINI.
