We checked around a lot and had Mutant done at a place in Airport West - Cant' remember the name off the top of my head, but if you don't find anyone closer I'll check for you. From memory I just took out the the passenger seat before I drove there to help give them back seat access. The did a good job and no problems with them, they had plenty of drop sheets/cloths to protect everything - besides they didn't dare damage her after Jan spoke to them :lol: :lol:

The guy I used for Linus didn't need the seats taken out, but he was a little guy though. Do tinters usually ask you to take the seats out?

i just got my starlet gt tinted last week and all they had to do was take the door trim off, no need to take out seats or watever. looks awesome now and no damage wat so ever to the car at all.

that was at Tint Mart.....they were reccomended to me by a friend that had a few cars done there, very good quality and good price too! got a discount aswell :D

Found it... Sungard - their details available at http://www.sungard.com.au/SuperStore/essendon.html

No you don't have to take the seat(s) out, but I figure that if you make life easier for the poor guy that has to climb in and out of the back seat of the Mini lots of times, then he is more likely to take more care of the rest of the car :)

club77, yep in the Shire.

Taren Point would be perfect! Weekend only is perfect! And $175 sounds perfect too!

Perfect on all points!
