Just a quick update for anyone who is looking for tinting around Melbourne CBD.

I just got a quote from Peter of Tint a Car, North Melbourne for my MY12 Jetta (with Sports pack - privacy glass on the rear). He recommended Formula 1 to get it matching as close as possible, while maintaining it street legal, as well as clear tints for the rear to help protect from UV etc. He quoted $295 for everything and $110/140 (i THINK - poor memory) just for the front tint.

I think it sounds like a pretty good deal. What do you guys reckon? Any experiences with Tint a Car, North Melb and particularly with Peter (didnt get his last name)?

I had my brand new Golf GTI tinted by Peter about 2 weeks ago. He was fantastic, extremely helpful, great customer service and did a great job.

They did my for door in about 2 hours. I highly reccommend them.

That's good to hear. He sounded very nice and polite over the phone. Made me feel easy about the whole thing.

I had mine tinted at North melbourne as well and I'm a happy customer. They certainly know what they are doing

Just picked up my car from Peter of Tint a Car north Melbourne. So far so good. The staff were really friendly and Peter seemed like a great guy from the get-go. Workmanship looks great so far. Clean job. First MkVI Jetta to visit his workshop.

Unfortunately weather is a bit wet and gloomy at the moment. Needs a lil bit of sun!

Will report more and hopefully get some pics up later in the week.

ps .... To anyone that has added tint to their R

Your car is now illegal

LT meter on mine on front windows prior tint returned a reading of 90% (10% drop). Actually varied up to 85% !

Adding 35% film would drop it to an effective value of 25% or less

So much for numbers eh !

Just to add to this....

Most Golf glass come standard with a 75%-80% tinge to the glass so to get it to darkest legal (35%) a 40%-45% film will need to be used to keep it within the limits.

Put a 35% the glass will be around 25%
20% tint will bring it down to around 12% and so on....

Short version is if you truly want to keep it legal (pffft), get it checked after the film is applied.

OH dear. So that combined with my UK non approved in Oz ISOFIX babyseat. Its a fair cop!

Another double thumbs-up for Peter at Tint-a-Car North Melbourne. Great guy, great job, great price (he fixed up another tinter's attempt at a GTI back window - the first tinter did the tint in two halves, joined over a demister line. His reason was that it is not possible to do such a curved window in one piece. Absolute nonsense as Peter and other great tinters show, over and over again)

What? You mean you put your childrens safety above pointless ADRs?

How dare you.
