Window Tinting for the Mk7

[Golf7Tdi]

Mine are tinted 45% (15% above legal amountin NSW) and they look great! I think if you over do it with tinting, itll make it look bad.

So they are 15% lighter than darkest legal of 30%VLT?

Was that in Melbourne?

Sydenee!

Yeah theyre 1% lighter, And I think its the perfect amount, I wouldnt go any darker personally, and besides, its had to see through at night anyway. I think 30% Transparency is way too much to suit the golf.

How much you can see through at night would depend on a persons night vision capability.

I have ~20%VLT film plus whatever was already embedded in the glass & don't have an issue at night.

Anyone else recommend someone in Canberra?

I ended up getting my Carbon XP tint and Opticoat done at Elite Finish. D&S Tint came to do the tinting, unfortunately no one in Adelaide is happy to tint the front quarter windows.

Hey everyone, I spoke to a guy in Kirrawee about darkest legal tinting on my GTI's windows and he said he could do it for $260 BUT he couldn't tint the small front window where the side mirrors are, because there is an airbag there and it might go off while he was doing it.

Has anyone heard of this problem//or had others tint this part successfully? Also, is the price good?

When I picked my GTI up the other week I was surprised to see they had tinted the two front quarter windows, when they told me months earlier they couldn't. Dealers in house tinted did a good job.
