nice pic! nice looking mini mate

i reckon a mid tint (not too llight or dark) would be pretty good for that colour.

I voted for window tint.

like any other car with a lot of personality you have to pick a tint that goes with your cars personality. It's harder than you think to do an awesome job tinting...... too many people jump into the really dark tints without thinking the lighter ones may look better

Mate on your car i think it will look really good. you could go a nice dark tint to match your roof or maybe even a slight reflective tint like Mini Mad (Josh) has on his car. it looks awesome on Clubbies. but i would never tint a roundie. so yeah. take that into account in peoples opinions. Roundies dont suit tint, but a clubby like yours has Tint written all over it :wink:

I think a smokey grey or a silver. get someone to help you out on Photoshop always helps maybe drop it in brickshop for some virtual mods first? I think you cn pull it off with that colour

remember mirror and 70%+ tint is illegal (some states are stricter)
