Window Tinting for the Mk7

[adamvchorek]

And not a panel needed to be removed I 'd bet.

Did he do the little window?

No removal of panels but he did "pop" them out so he could get to the window, but very professional and put it all back together and looks like a factory finish.
Yes he did do the little window, after the last mob i wanted to tint my windows said they don't do it because no one can. Hah, he proved them wrong.

[Mayhem]

Did anyone manage to find a place which will tint the little triangle windows in Adelaide?
I originally got mine done at Elite Finnish while getting my Opticoat, they did a good job but weren't able to do the little triangles. If I can find a reputable place that does all the Golf R windows I would like to go 18-20% all around.

+1 for Robert Salvia 0418 464 185 (Hunters Hill Window Tinting) - He tinted my last GTI, and will be doing my R when it arrives. Great bloke, great price, great product.

I'm getting a GTIPP which will have privacy glass - 2 questions.
- If you use Rob to try and match the rear pre-tinted glass does anyone know what he will use to match it?
- Do people bother getting clear UV film put on on rear windows & rear glass considering the glass will probably block close to 80% UV anyway.

My preference is to just do the front 2 windows and small triangles as I garage my car at home & work.

I just got mine tinted at Tint-a-Car Milton in Brisbane. Got the Octane darkest legal. Not super dark, but happy with it. They also did the front small glass part, he made a point of it when I booked it in. Was about $495 I think.

OK guys, any Melbourne based tint guys that can match (as close as possible) the privacy tint and do the small triangles?

I don't know what he would use. I wouldn't care. I've used the often enough that I trust his expert opinion. Give him a call & he'll tell you what he uses, he's probably done several hundred MK7s by now

The clear UV would be a personal preference / depth pof wallet thing. I would for the safety aspects of window film (It holds the glass together a bit more if the glass breaks).

I had my Mk7 R and comfortline wagon (coincidently yesterday) tinted by Rob. I watched him tint the R in full. I had 35% placed on all windows (excl rear) inc the triangles. He also placed UV film on the rears. I struggle to find any difference in shade colours (front and back) in any light. Highly recommended.
