I'm planning on getting my f55 SD windows tinted and wondered on any tips or how dark should I go without it looking like a drug dealers car lol.

Hey Cessa - getting my new MCS in a couple of weeks, can you recommend someone in Brissie to tint Windows?
Highly recommend Solar Style tinting . These guys are excellent and treat your car like one of their own. They do all the dealer tinting for BMW City so they know their way around a Mini. Emily and Shannon are the owners, and they are all about customer service and doing an exceptional job. Just had my cooper s tinted and opticoated a few weeks ago and they are great. ( No I don't have any affiliation or friendship with the owners. They were just great) I had the XP tint done as it has the best heat resistance. Unless you want to go for the crystalline, which is way too expensive for me ;)

Cheers Skullee - I had been doing some homework since my last post, and wanted to go with a 3m product. I need something that provides max uv filters, and it looked as though the crystalline offered that. I think that colour stable had the next highest filter.

Others have mentioned pricing around $300 - do you remember the cost for the crystalline?

How dark are your tints and do you know the uv filter reduction?
Hey Tonyau,
The 3M crystalline was around $800 I think. That's for an F55. Their 3M, CXP and Black were all about the same price. I would guess around $300 ish. I had the tint together with the opticoat and that was just under $1100. I didn't want to go illegal, and the factory glass already has 5% so I think I got 45% on it. It wasn't the darkest tint, but out of all their films, bar the crystalline, had the best heat rejection.

I also have a VW Golf with Formula 1 from tintacar on it, and it has been very good. We went back to the same Tint a car for the Mini but got a bad feeling off the showroom and the people, which is why we went to solar style after a lot of research. Have a look at their Facebook page. They do some seriously expensive cars, so they know what they are doing.

Cheers for that- I'll have a chat with them this week.
Hello

window Tint is a kind of film that provides a good visibility from inner side and gives privacy from outside. Moreover the film is used to offer good solar radiations control. Window tint adds privacy, reduce sun exposure damage from UV rays and enhance the safety of your vehicle. visit tintcollege.com
