    aah i got my mk5 done at dandy tintacar too.
    It also took longer than expected due to the curvature of the rear window. They rang me mid way through the day telling that it will be a couple hours late. I just told them to take their time on it though.
    When i picked it up it looked like arse. But yeah after a few days it started to look a lot better. This was in summer though

    Said it will look worse tomorrow then get better after that.

    I guess I'll just have to wait and see, I guess it will be fine just have to be patient.

    Thanks for all the info people i can rest easy for at least the next couple of weeks.

    Curing takes between 7-30 days. in winter usually they take a little bit longer than in summer/warm condition. (i got my tinting from the dealer last week, the day the car arrived, now its perfect, was bubbling after 2 days)

    just enjoy! with bubbles!

    Could do with a lot less teething issue before I have a heart-attack... dented door, rear-ended, weird clutch/gearbox noises and maybe dodgy tint... in 3 weeks of getting it but one drive makes that all go away.

    Wahahahaha......

    I have similar situation to you!!

    My car got chipped (on the windscreen) in less then 10 days, then damaged my tyre's side wall after hitting a port hole in the following week, then a "not perfect" tint 2 weeks later, then 1st to 2nd crunch, and now there is something wrong with my door hinge...

    This is not my 1st vw, and every vw i had have a look a problem... but vw really got a lot of quality issue...

    Not to mention parking ticket from the 1st week for 12 min late....

    And the car is still less then 2 month old!!!!

    Mine is black 2...

    Is black gti just get cursed?
