My very first mod

Nothing exciting but i have just got my windows tinted, the first step of many for modding my nav. Its not to everyones taste but i have done it for two reasons, firstly i like the look of black larger cars such as the nav and rangrover ect with the blacked out look, i personally think it looks smart, on the other hand when you see a little 1.2litre corsa with hia windows done i think it looks sh#t, all depends on which car and also colour i supose.

The second and most important reason is that i will be carrying tools inside the cab until i can get a cheap cover for the back so it is better security. Ive totally blacked out the rear and rear side so you cannot see in and the drivers and passenger i have gone lighter but it is still dark as i do not like the dark back very light front look. It is illegal but my m3 had this on and it never bothered the police and in the worst situation i would only have to take off the front two windows.

THE MAIN REASON FOR POSTING is that as some of you know i have just bought the nav (thursday 26th nov) and the mot was due this tuesday so i put it in for one and it sailed straight threw without even any notes to advise about problems. I was well pleased as i did exspect it to fail as i had just bought it and i have nothing but bad luck.

Just to be on the safe side i think i will keep all future mods to myself, and just potter around in the back ground trying to pick up help and tips :bounce:

i think you should leave it, i think mother trucker is one of those blokes who tries to make you feel guilty by his constant use of "i am sorry". Well i dont think hes sorry at all, i think he gets a kick out of trying to wind people up!
And i know that makes me sound like a ****, but hey some people you just cant help!

Wow :shock: There you go, you try and help someone and you get that...? Chill out, think of the best intend first and not the worst...

I know you said you knew it was illegal, but wasn't certain you know how high the fine is! More than jumping a red light for example, or speeding...Whilst one could argue the offence is much less...Then again, there is a reason why there is a law that stipulates how much light should be let through the glass...Just think it could be a family member of yourself that you didn't see in the dark when turning....

But hey I'm not telling you what to do, nor a busy body (you couldn't find a less rubber necking person then me), and neither a fake copper (heck no, not enough money in that :thumbleft: )...

It is a forum, and it is an opinion so agree with you, some don't...But we generally look out for each other as we have something in common....Would be boring if there wasn't any discussion wouldn't it?

Now, if I made my opinion known about a blacked out M3, then I would be rude :lol:
