Hi all,

I recently sold my old 2016 vRS TDI estate and placed an order for a new vRS estate in pearl black. Was notified today that the car has been built and left the factory so hoping i'll only have to wait a few more weeks for delivery.. Any idea how long it takes from leaving the factory to delivery??

I've also considered getting the car a good PPF coating as it's black and will show everything and give a good level of protection for the odd scratch, stone chip etc..

Has anyone else gone down the road of PPF coatings, is it worth the cost and any recommendations for installation?

Many thanks..

I looked into both PPF and ceramic coatings. In the end I decided against both. PPF is potentially the most beneficial due to the protection but to get a significant part of the car protected my view was that it just cost too much as a proportion of the car value to be worth it. I now understand why you see lambos and Porsches getting it. Maybe if you plan to keep the car for 10 years you could man math it but I didn’t go ahead.

I enjoy washing and waxing too much!
