We use that film at work and i was gona suggest it u stole my idea damn it lol,

Works really well and protects the paint a dream, and last around a good 3 years maybe less maybe more depending on milage and conditions! Its good enough for our ritz Rolls Royce phantom so must be good enough for a polo gti, Well maybe lol!

U looked into the film before the bed bra dude???

I thought about the film, but it wasnt something i felt confident in applying - anything film related i always mess up. Im gonna attempt to tint the windows again tomorrow, but i have a feeling ill fail that up too!!

Unless there is a company who know what they are doing with this film, I may look into it.

How thick is it trotta?

Here's a full frontal on a 6N2:

Everyone knows they're damn ugly, but they're very very useful.

I'd like one for my smoothed bumper for long journeys. Would have to get a custom one also though for my lower placed numberplate!

Get some snaps with it on dude 8)
