    That’s looking real good! Are you going to do the black out to the trim?

    Ok - been researching this. Tapatalk doesn’t see anything outside of the direct forum is my understanding. Try unsung the website via your browser (mobile or PC)... you should then be able to see it. To explain further, garages is part of an add-on. It’s not the native Xenforo platform. So What I’ve learned is that Tapatalk doesn’t support any of these additional add-ons. Can you try hitting the site directly. If you can’t see it then.. that would be a different problem I would need to research. Also, if you do it that way, you should also be able to create your own garage for your car. Let me know if your willing to try that.. and if so, if you have any issues.

    Voila,

    https://www.motoringalliance.com/showcase/2017-mini-cooper-s-convetble.3776/

    I can access through the link via tapatalk, but the pictures are to dark to see the windshield, or there is even no windshield on the pics

    It is a dark window tint that is stretched across the windshield so that it fits its curve. It is applied from the inside. It does not cover the whole windshield, but it protects the driver and front seat passenger somewhat from the sun's glare and also allows police to have a view inside the car from the outside. Check the measurements from my last posts for the commercially produced cover or, just buy a "generic" one to cut and install yourself.

    The S: https://www.motoringalliance.com/showcase/the-s.1506/
    The Welsh: https://www.motoringalliance.com/showcase/the-welsh-mini.1505/

    One has lettering “Cooper” the other does not. Think you will see it better here.

    I threw a tint strip across the windshield too. Pretty simple DIY

    Chrome beltline delete that I did myself with electrical tape……I have been asking around for prices and it’s very expensive to wrap them

    Now I’m waiting on black mirror covers , black Cooper S badge and JCW side scuttles

    I’m thinking on a front light tint and windshield tint

    But again , expensive and maybe a bit ‘illegal’ as well

    Looking good - In US, you can tint front windows to 30% (if memory is correct).. windshield is a no no..

    However, you CAN use a tinted windshield strip [at the top of the windshield] so police can still look inside the vehicle. Besides, when applied at the top of the windshield, the strip serves as a true sun blocker of sorts [unless he is driving with the top down]

    It depends on the state. In Pa they don’t care that much about side and back windows that much unless you get in a little town that has strict enforcement. We can tint the top section 3 inches down of our windshields but they don’t really bother anyone if it’s not exactly at 3 inches.

    Now in Florida it seems like anything goes depending on where you live as I have seen full limo tint on every window in the car including the windshield.
