So just normal for on here then. 🤣


I think this decade keep showing us that what seems crazy to some or at some point, may become normal at a different place or time …

the PPF will be front end, side skirts, doors, rear quarters.
So not the boot lid, not rear bumper and not the roof. But i reckon the guy might offer to do the car in full at a small extra.

 

I know it’s a lot of money, and it means no holiday this year😭but for me it’s a must after the MK8


If I may, my recommendation is wrap whatever they are willing to wrap.

I had mine done in ‘22 (delivery happened outside the detailer, via lorry).

My guy objected to doing the B pillars and the rear lights, saying it will add price and he’s thinks it’s superfluous, and I agreed … I regret that decision, and should have insisted, as every place that is covered give me so much ease of mind, whenever it hales, or some debris flies over, or stuff falls from trees, and mainly when I make a mistake, the wrap saves most of my errors and places that have not been wrapped (rear valence, rear lights, etc) already got some “touches” that I would have loved to have on a wrap and not the object directly.

 

Just my 2-cents

Not sure (no pano on wither of my mk8/8.5s) but I don't think they are prone to the surround cracking as with the pano roof on the 7/7.5s. 

 

My earlier post you quoted was me genuinely wondering if the extras (sunblinds and boot mat) some are getting might be part of the pano roof option but not because it might leak!?

 

Anyway @Nighthawk's poll and some other feedback from owners has shown that those extras are not connected to the pano roof option. 

 

In all fairness there was not an option in that poll for "my dealer kept the goodies and didn't tell me about them" 😜

A whole 5 weeks to wait.  You are a patient man for the sake of a 25 plate.  Let’s hope that your car is tucked away safely at the dealership swaddled in giant bubble wrap. I could leave a car at a dealership that long it even for a new plate.
