Mk7 Golf R Discussion Thread

**jonoz** · 31-12-2014, 02:54 PM

Well I cannot commend Byron @ Tint a Car Milton enough for the fantastic job he did on the R.

I had done a lot of reading in regards to tint and found it common that on the Mk7 tinters would either not do the quarter window, "have a crack" or put I actually read people tinting the outside...

Byron did an absolutely fabulous job and as dirty as the car looks, it is "whiter"

Apologies in advance for the photo dump, very very happy with a job well done.

I don't know exactly what tint it is as my partner took the car in and I believe after discussion with Byron my partner changed what we were getting done.

End result is great though but I will phone up Friday to confirm what tint was used.

Nice job from those guys may change mine as well did you tint all windows or just front? how did they tint the little triangle near the mirrors in or outside? thanks for share with us.

All windows are tinted, they did a fantastic job and the little triangles are done inside

Originally speaking to Byron the recommendation was to go Bolle on the front and then clear on the rears as the colour of Bolle is the best match to the colour in the VW privacy glass.

My partner wanted something slightly darker for a little more privacy and went with Octane tint with a lighter tint over the privacy glass and darker at the front.

On that note of black rims, does anyone know what would be a direct replacement for an 18" and 19" rim in terms of offset etc?

Suggest you ask Dutch in the wheel thread. He's a guru when it comes to wheels.

There are not too many high quality (made in Italy, Japan and German) black rims that come in 19x8 or 18x8 with offset +50.

BBS CH-R is one that I can think of with 19x8 +50 5x112.

thanks for the information I will definitely go to do the little triangles over there mine was done in the slacks creek Tint a car since it was the only opened when I received my car I believe they put octane in mine as well but they weren't able to do the triangles.
I like the R wheel caps as well but first I will look for the R air valves.
