Thanks for the info guys, yes Ive hadG-Techniq coatings for years and you'd even wonder sometimes about them but the stance of the 50 is definitely making me think PPF is a serious option to consider.
Joe was it Flawless (Expel) you used do you mind me asking.

Dealer did not know anything about it on delivery (24/04). Went back last week to collect my mats and dealer told me I’m number 24 and the plaque is on its way and will let me know when it arrives. So hoping to hear soon.

Excellent! That’s a very early bird. What did you have to go get mats? Did they not give the Edition 50 red and green stripped ones?

The plaque is a nice touch. No sign of any plaque on Irish Edition 50's

It should be for the whole of UK, rather than just England. I would chase them up. Send the video if they don’t believe you.

I am definitely getting PPF on mine. Only question is front and side or just PPF the whole car. Very much leaning towards the latter, but XPEL official installer next to me is going to be expensive. Plus it seems they only do XPEL ceramic coating rather than G-Tech who everyone raves about. But I’m not going to two separate detailers, that’s a faff.

My spider senses says it about 5k for both.  :shocked:

[/quote] front end, mirror caps, black gloss side sills, and the roof all in PPF. Rest of the car Gtechniq ultra with EXO. Only EXO on top of the PPF. First time I’ve had PPF, so need to let it bed in for a month or so and get its first clean under the belt before I can fully judge it. But so far happy with it, barely notice it’s there. I also had the black gloss centre console PPF’d, it’s a cracking job on that. Guess it will take time to fully judge the PPF. Not cheap though so fingers crossed haha

Comprehensive protection! Also great idea on PPF the piano black centre console, I’ll copy that idea!

Those of you who have already taken delivery of your Edition 50s, did you get your numbered plaque at delivery or post delivery?

MrEdition50 - you’ve got the VW briefing paper on this right? What does it say? I think my dealer is going to be clueless about this.
