Paint Protection & Tinting

[mjld85]

Hey Guys,

I just bought a new Golf R (my first VW!) and turned down protection and tinting package they tried to push on me ($3500...), largely on the basis of advice from this forum.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good place to get the tinting done and (maybe) the paint protection applied in Brisbane?

Show Us Your Tints in Albion...best around and good price.

Dealer prices for these items have about a 200-300% markup - you did the right thing to turn them down.

You will be able to get your windows tinted for around $300 (if you have a sunroof you might want to consider getting the sunroof tinted too). Paint protection varies in cost from one brand to another - personally i think its rubbish but i wash my cars every 7-10 days and enjoy polishing and waxing them.

I can't speak highly enough of Opticoat. Contact Jason from Superfresh Detailing.

Just placed an order for a 40 years GTI and need to get the front windows tinted as I thought $495 from the dealer for the two front windows was a tad extortionate, can anyone recommend a good tinting place around Rydalmere or eastern suburbs Sydney?

They may not need it as the two fronts have a different tint rating to the others. Most States dont allow them as darks as rears.

Thanks for the info.
