Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

        • Tint looks awesome.

          I'm going to get mine tinted as soon as I pick it up. What is the darkest legal tint? 35%?

            Not sure what state your in, but in NSW the darkest legal tint is 35%. However the Polo already has 97% from factory (built in the glass). So if you get 35% then it will actually be 32%, (below legal).

            Do a search there is plenty of info on tinting the Polo.

              35% is the legal limit and 75% for the front in VIC as far as I know, but I couldn't find anyone that would actually tint the front though.

              You can go darker than legal but it's at your own risk.

                  my mate bought a forester gt with what looks like even less than 20% (i think its ambulance tint) ALL THE WAY AROUND....yes, even on the front screen.

                  its the most ridiculous car to drive because its so dark you can't bloody see anything.

                    Also quite illegal ... not allowed to tint the front screen (at least in Queensland).

                      I bet it looks pretty good though.

                        yeah it does look good. it's black and has been dumped on its guts and sits on 20" chrome rims. chromies aren't really my thing but they look good on the forester gt.

                        yeah dave bloody oath its illegal. he has been very lucky though. he has owned the car for over 2 years now and never been pulled over for the tint. i suppose police have bigger fish to fry than to waste their time with someones window tint.

                        i was happy when i found out my car was already 35% tinted because i want everything to be legal on my car (apart from dual port BOV ). at least its not sticking out of the bonnet so police can see it.
