Tinting the rocco

[brad]

He didn't do the back windows...

WTF?

So he only does the easy part?

Just came back from tinting, would recommend Rob - Car Tint Ringwood.

He doesn't like them but he'll do older Golf's, don't think he'll do MKVII

He didn't do the back windows...can anyone recommend someone who could do them?

he didnt want to do my mk vi either, so when i got the rocco i didnt even bother asking him.
Took it to tint a car instead and no issues at all, matched the factory rear tint well also

No the back windows are already factory tinted except with a green tinge

He can do it, but not to his high standards

I'd get the back tinted as well so that you had max UV protection & it all matched. My tint guy would insist on having it all matching

[Bain]

Yeah - sounds like a cop out. I had the clear uv tint applied to the rest without issue.

I couldn't recommend a person if they can only do half a job!

Really? I've had my car for almost 2 years now, and the tint is still perfect and I'd still use and recommend Rob only because he has such a high standard of work. I've never had an issue with the factory tint on the rear either.

I've got an Octavia RS wagon coming early next year and would like Rob to do it, but still hear he doesn't like doing them. I live out his way and got him to do my Santa Fe in 2011 no probs but was wondering if there is someone else here who would do it. Robs issue is that he takes the trims off, most don't.

Got mine done last week
Mastertint at Underwood - they have done 4 of my cars and about 5 of my sons
Colour match - Hmmmmmmmm not sure yet - still thinking about it
Choice was slight blue tinge or charcoal I think he called it - anyway greyish
He recommended the grey so that's the way I went
If you look closely you CAN see a slight colour difference but it doesn't rip your eyes out - have to be looking for it
from inside you don't notice it and it looks great from outside
Anyway for $100 I'm not going to change it





Didnt take any "before" photos - well not side ones anyway .... DUH
Just turned 3000kms old since January this year
Magic car - would hate to be in the situation as others on here looking for the next car to replace the Rocc
It is a hard act to follow - very big shoes to fill to use some well used clichés but very true .... IHMO of course

looks good from the photos.
yes it is a very hard act to follow when attempting to replace the Rocco, it still looks awesome and someone else asked me what it was last Friday. So many comments from people even after 3 years. I'm torn on what to do but i'll need brakes, 2 new tyres and i have a 'fault code in evap canister & N80 valve'.
Someone on the Whirlpool forums described the look of the Rocco as a 'squashed breadvan'! Personal opinion i guess.

Why not a new MY16 Rocc ???
We also have a Fiat 500 TwinAir and I watch the Fiat forum -
in the UK it seems very often they trade the old 3 year old 500 on a new 500 - it is a "cult" car as much as the Rocc.
Some couples have one each - like "his" and "hers" 500s.

Been quite a few changes since you got yours - (for me) the icing on the cake is the 3 gauges - particularly the boost gauge.
Although must admit that I have no use for the lap timer
Saw your post on another thread, the resale seems good - depreciation about 12% per year compared to about 15% on a Commodore

They probably couldn't afford one or had too many kids to fit in the back
Got nothing against kids - got 5 of my own, all grown up now so I could have bought a 2 seater
But I love squashed breadvans !!

BTW - how did you go with the scrape ??
