Pictures of Brisbane's latest Evoque

Nice, is that legal ??? I got 15% on front to match the rear privacy glass, which is illegal

Hey Barney

I added a filter to picture 2 (for dramatic effect), so it looks a lot darker in the photo than in reality. Photo 3 is a truer image of what the tint looks like in the real world. BTW, it a 35% tint from Tint a Car - very legal!

In the UK, the front side windows can only have a maximum 30% tint.

Spif, touch wood no one has picked up mine yep. At night I don't have any problem seeing out etc, but it is illegal.

Samyo, in Australia I think it is 35%, so my 15% (which matched the factory rear privacy glass option) is a little illegal

nice..looks almost as good as mine

looks great!

I got mine done at Tintacar recently too! but put on the Formula 1 tint... not as dark as the Octane but I didn't want to go too dark either. Cost me $425 as well. I did call about 20 different Tintacar locations to get the best price though.

My latest modifcation.

Vinyl wrapped the silver trim on the side and on the rear. It only cost $200 which was way cheaper than the $800 it was going to cost to respray the pieces of plastic. I considered ordering the pieces from the UK (like the front grill) but the prices are crazy - around $200 just for the side vents for 1 side of the car.
   
   
   

Next mod - change the lettering

the silver trim looked better

I had my Evoque detailed today with Swissvac. I used a local detailer here in Cleveland, Brisbane. Unfortunately my digital camera can't do the job justice or maybe its just my photo taking skills. Anyway, 3 photos taken earlier.
   
   
   

I can see your reflection in the last picture - that's usually a good sign.
