New Clingy Window Graphic

If your looking for something different, MiniPirate made me up some internal window clingys in a checker pattern. Its hard to see because a.) the sun aint been out for days and b.) the window is tinted which make it look like a reflection or shadow of the checkered roof.

Phil does Excellent work and this was made from scratch.

that looks fantastic! I don't think I'll be tinting mine so I may give this a try once I get my little guy. is it a frosted/clear or colored? can you see through them easily?

Thanks, good questions. My tint is 35 but actually a bit darker. So, the actual effect is kind of like a "shadow" in that when you first look at it, you may think its a shadow of the roof.

The white sections are slightly frosted clear (no color), black is black.

If you are not getting tint, seeing through the clear (but frosted) sections would be easy. My wife started to complain she couldnt see out that window because of the tint and frost but now shes used to it and can see some through the clear section. No tint and I would think, no issue but you dont see a totally clear window because of the black section. I would imagine changing lanes to the right means looking through there but I dont have an issue with it Hope that helped.

BTW, if you dont like them, they are easy to come off because they are clingys (but of course you paid for them)

Hard to tell from the picture...is that a full window graphic or is it similar to the flag graphic on the "window decals" page on the MiniPirate site? From what I can see it looks good, and would be a nice compliment to some side checks I've been contemplating.

Its a variation of whats on the website in that it covers the entire window in full. The website ones dont do this. This was one off

I have the JCW challenge checks so it flows:



mini pirate also made the 37 meatball

Chs4, we are constantly updating and improving our graphics and now because of the work we have done with Art (Chows4us) we have made minor alterations to our window decals. All designs now fit to the full extreme of the window area, and are still an internal fitting. So some of the designs in our catalogue and online shop will be slightly different...but improved. Also the material we are using is now much better to the first ones we offered.

Although they are a cling material it is stronger and does not stretch.
Art's was a one off design which was adapted from the catalogue design, so the choice is of the customer..it is really easy for us to customise as much as anyone wants. I will try to take some pics of the test one on may car, which has no tint and post later. Hope this helps. And looks good Art.

Happy Mini'ing.
