Probably really only for KJ.... but...
when I was coming back thru Aberdeen the other weekend (after the social meet thingy) I spotted a Silk Green Cooper thru the traffic....
When I got closer I noticed the windows were tinted... not black tho...
but Green... metallic.... almost a perfct Silk green!!! they weren't dark tints, or *too* green... very subtle and tasteful they were!
So KJ... Next Mod??? ;);):D:D

KJ, there is now a Tint Haus in Dundee who would do these tints for you, and you can also get metallic blue (very nice on white cars Ewan!!) and an orangy sort of colour!! But the green would look the biz!!:D:clown:;)

this green is sounding tempting. it'd be great to find out who has that aberdeen mini to see how it looks, but from what Ewan is saying sounds good like.

Be careful KJ there are new laws supposed to be coming into place soon. Willie was going to get pentagon to tint the drivers and passenger side windows but Menzies were saying that proposed new legislation from Europe is causing all sorts of problems just now. No one seems to know for certain just now but it could mean having to have the tints removed when the car is 3yrs old at MOT time, or possibly even before.

Pentagon themselves are very worried about this as tinting is their core business.

Willie is holding off for the moment.

when i spoke to them on the phone they mentioned this and that they have a limit to what they can tint, so hopefully they'll have a clearer idea on wed. I'll speak to them and see and i'll post here to let you know what the result was. Thanks for the heads up Linda.

KJ DON'T GO TO THAT PENTAGON!!!!! They're not the real Pentagon and are facing a law suit from the real Pentagon!! Fair enough, they did a good job on my car, but they wrecked Robs Porsche, they took out the windows, which they aren't supposed to, they scratched the paintowrk, tore window seals and didn't put the windows back properly, that and they took the car out, considering one of them is banned!!!! JC's used to put their cars there til they found out the truth after the windows of an M3 were cut out!!:eek: There is now a Tinthaus in Dundee, they're far more respectable and you have a bit of comeback with them, these cowboys don't even give you a reciept!!! I would seriously advise cancelling and going to Tinthaus!!:(

Tint Haus quoted me £255, but i knocked it down to £200. so its only £25 quid more plus a bit of piece of mind.

I had samples of all the coloured stuff for a bit, wonder where i put them? Very nice lady at JC in Aberdeen got them for me. I was going to get the blue ones fitted to my IB, but I got the EB not long after and decided against it as it would look a bit odd, IB style tints on EB.
