What tint did you end up going with?
Did you get any Xpel/PPF applied?
Happy with the result of the Opticoat? (assuming that you also got that).

Apologies for the interrogation.. I don't think I can PM yet as just joined... ex Audi).
Hi jmmi,
No worries about the interrogation. This is what the forum is all about.
Yes, Hamish and the boys are very good. I’ve been using them for years.
As far as tinting is concerned, I had 20 fitted to the rear and 28 on the front. I went for the darker tint in the rear because I couldn’t get a rear roller blind fitted (as per my previous F30).
These tints are darker than I had been used to in the past and it took me a while to become comfortable with them. All good now, I’m very happy.
I do not have PPF on the car, just OptiCoat Plus. It’s a great product and makes the car so easy to clean while making the paintwork “pop”. Unfortunately, I have one small stone chip on the bonnet, so perhaps I should have gone with the PPF.
