My MINI came in. Few Questions. tinted windows? Rear Cup holder?
So I finally picked up my Astro Black Mini Cooper yesterday and I love it.
I didn't notice the windows where tinting until this morning when I parked next to another Mini Cooper. I am not complaining or anything, but when Did Mini start tinting Windows? is this a new thing?
I am talking about all the windows & Sunroof are tinting, except the windshield which is illegal in NY.
Also, the rear single cup holder in the middle of the car seems bare. No trim or anything. You can even see the screw on the bottom. Is this normal? Any options that I can add to make it look nicer?

Thanks, yeah that's what I figured. I didn't ask for the tint, but I am not complaining about it. Glad to see the sunroof tinted. It's 90 degrees here in NY today and my car doesn't seem that hot.
I'm gonna try to find some sort of rubber cup holder for the back. I am also looking at those rubber inserts for the center console http://www.outmotoring.com/mini-coop...age_liner.html

minspeed.net also has a rubber insert that goes under the e-brake. I bought both of them and I am happy with them.

Tinting is defiantly a dealer option, glad you are happy with it.
If you look in the front cup holders you can see the screws there as well. Some users have made little covers out of laminated plastic with different designs to go down in there and give it a more finished look.
I hardly ever use the rear one and currently this is where my ash tray/coin holder lives.

I belive that factory tinted glass is an option for Minis in Europe. When I was playing around with the configurator for my Mini I visited the Euro Mini sites to see the differences in option and facotry tints were an option.
Maybe they put the wrong glass in during production.
Looks like someone might be driving in Europe with out tints after paying for them.
