New Polo - I've got one!

[Frostee]

Can anyone who has taken delivery of a 6R Polo advise whether or not the rear windows are tinted/privacy glass, and in tuen you only need to tint the front side windows? My Dealer wasm't certain?

(September 2010 build, so maybe it's different now?)

I can confirm as when I picked up my car they hadn't done the front tint and that's the reason I dropped my car off today as their now doing the front windows, I just hope they look even and aren't two different types of tints

I'll probably wait until I pick my car and make a decision then. I'm sure I can get it done somewhere other than a dealer for far cheaper.

i pick up my 2011 Polo tsi 5dr on Sunday - Pepper Gray / DSG / Mats / Comfortline / Tint / no badges - will advise if the Build date of 2nd April includes the updated white backlight on the Air Con and the loss of front seat storage bin asap. wooh!!!

As I understand it the rear glass is privacy glass, this is not tinted but darkened glass, it has no UVP. When you tint your front windows it will be with an adhesive tint, there will be a difference, but a good tinter will get it pretty damn close.

That was the plan we we purchased as they wanted $600 for the tinting.
When we bartered for the vehicle we finally got it with Tint (nothing else).
I figure the tinting was about $300 from my calcs as they wouldn't sell us the Polo for $21.5k D/A without tint, but would for $22k D/A with tint.

I know I can get the tinting through work for around $200, but I need to take it in and waste 1/2 a day, so to spend the extra $100 and have it done by the dealer was worth in our case.

Certain Tint-a-car places have a specific VW tint they can apply wich is made to match the privacy glass as close as it possibly can.

My first mod will be tinted windows. Probably in the first week after delivery. 15% all around thanks. Dark tinted windows on a white car looks awesome!

picked up my 2011 Polo tsi 5dr Pepper Grey on Sunday - new DSG lever is great - shame i lost front seat unders seat storage - comfort package is worth every cent - AC illuminated display is still blue on my model - dealer states excess stock of this item is filtering into the 11.5 models still. Driven 150km since picking it up - so smooth - so quite - brilliant drive and freeway acceleration is great too. Happy Driver!

[Transporter]

It looks good, mate. Congratulations!

G'day

I picked up my Polo GTI the other day

Was REAL lucky - went looking and found one on 2nd call at Chatswood Classic
A cancelled order. Someone went the Golf GTI instead of waiting

It is candy white and has the leather, RCD510 radio, headligh upgrades.
I have added bluetooth and window tints

Done about a 1,000kms in it now and REAL happy

Cant believe the wait some of you guys have had to put up with
Might be like the Mk V Golf GTIs a while back when VW flooded the market after a while
