Well seeing as she is now leading the points for the year it might be awhile.
I should send it to MINI for advertisement of how much fun you can have in these cars.

It was nearly 70 today so I took advantage of the rare chance and gave Clarkson a good washing. It wasn't a full blown detail job, mostly just an effort to clean brake dust and crud from the last few weeks of Typical Virginia winter weather.

The tint is 35% all the way around. Enough that you can still see at night well and it still looks sweet. Didn't add extra tint to roof though.

Hey Bruin, are those Chuck Taylor's I spy? BTW, very nice ride. Laser Blue man myself, but this CR/B combo is appealing

Shame this side of the pond we cant have the front windows too dark!

Might have to have the front slightly later.

Thanks for the help!
