I just took delivery of my new Cooper a week ago and would love to have the windows tinted. I am new to Raleigh and don't have a clue where all the reputable places are (for anything). Does anyone have a place they can recommend? Thanks!

Without a doubt, FormulaOne in Raleigh, off of Spring Forest is the best. Here's a link: http://www.formulaone.com/. They also do the clear paint protection, which is better and cheaper than Mini's.

I've gotten 2 vehicles tinted there and they are great. Keith is the owner. Their work is outstanding and guaranteed for life.

Wow, it took a while for someone to come through on this thread - I just figured no MINI owners in town had their windows tinted (true, most of them I've seen around don't have tint).

Thanks for the recommendation. With summer quickly approaching, I'm def going to need tint! I will check out FormulaOne for sure!

Also try contacting Bruce Mueller of The Durham Ritz, car wash. He owns a stereo shop at 3639 Chapel Hill Blvd 919-490-6868 (also owns an 06 GP) he has a tint guy that does awesome work.
