Yes to the "clear bra" - read on: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...t=invisishield Research the prices, the product, the warranty and what it "covers" - as in what they are going to cover on the Clubman for their price.

Thanks Otra. My dude has done TONS of research on it - price, materials, application, etc. So, I think we're good there. Glad you are happy with it.

the Rally and Fireman Clubman's make me wish I had more:

- imagination
- moolah
- time
- a garage
- a second beater car

fantastic job on those Clubmans!!! The blue "stock" one looks downright huge next to your modded ones

Recently got our Clubbie tinted and added the UJ side scuttle and that seems like a good enough excuse to post pics to me

Oooooooo! She looks great! That scuttle is the perfect added touch, and I wouldn't add another thing to her accoutrements. Remind me, what kind of wheels are those because I really like them.

Tinted Windows

Parkerton,

Tell us more about your tinted windows. I went to have an estimate done on metal tint window film installed near my home.

See Ya!

Thanks Otra! I also added the most simple mod in the world - the stubby antenna

As for the side scuttles, they're WAY overpriced for what they are...BUT, the stock ones on non-S Clubmans look so bad that I had to switch them out. Glad you like them.

Those wheels are 17" MOMO RPM's.

The tint is 5% rears and 35% fronts. Also got the moonroofs done at 35% which didn't make near the difference I needed, so got it re-done at 5%. Total cost was about $250 (not including my goof on the moonroofs).

Window Tint

Parkerton,

What kind of film was installed? Did you get metal? I was quoted $250 just to to do the two rear side and the rear windows. Sounds like a high quote to me. The window films quoted are for Solar Guard.

See ya!

Looks good Around $250 for everything definately sounds about right. I would get a quote elsewhere if they just quoted you for the rear and back windows.

Oh, yes, the stubby! Very nice. My pal lurch has one that I was admiring this weekend. Perhaps Santa will bring me one.

And thanks for the wheel info, I think I've asked before but have no memory left.

Thanks folks, I really think this car turns the most heads of any under $30k.

As for the tint, I got SunTek and I honestly don't remember whether it's metallic or not...sorry I can't be more specific. All I know is that it looks great and is doing a great job of keeping the heat out! Additionally, I just throw whatever I want in the boot and no one can see what's inside.
