    Your next best bet would to then contact Volkswagen Head Office in Germany to confirm the spec which gets sent to Brunei then.

    In Australia we have no choice about the windows. It also doesn't matter whether you've got 18" or 19" - it doesn't change the windows spec. In the "Comfortline" models, the tint is part of the Sport Package. Again you have no choice - if you want the sports package you HAVE to have the tint. The only people who can "chose" are the GTI and GTD customers where it's a $400 option.

    New Zealand, right next to us, is different too. As are the UK (another RHD country). Hence why I don't believe you can make any assumptions based on the advice we're able to provide here.

    Oh.... now that is news to me... I did not realise that the GTI and GTD can be had for an option cost.... interesting...
    I assume that the tint shade is within the limit over the in Aust. (in all states?)

    Yeah... I know that what I am hoping to achieve is a 'long long shot' ....

    Anyway... if you would be so kind to give me an email or fax or mode of contact to the relevant VW Wolfsburg where I might be able to get the comfirmed spec? I tried googling but to no avail.... just got me to the VW germany website and left a msg on their general enquiries.....

    The tint is within the legal limit for all Australian states - but it's only for the rear side windows and rear window. If it also tinted the front side windows, then it'd be illegal in at least one of the states....

    The option isn't very popular btw, as it's a PITA to match with "regular film tint", and more so, it costs more than getting your entire car tinted aftermarket anyway. So I'm not sure how much longer it'll be an option even to the GTI and GTD buyers.



    As for contacting VW in Germany, you'd either need to find a "contact us" link on their site.... or you could try sending an email to martin.winterkorn@audi.de - who is the head of VAG world wide. One of his assistances will hopefully pass it to the right place!
