Anyone with a Tornado Red GTI/Golf R that has installed 3M paint protection film? I'd like to see if the film changes the color. Thanks!

Had the 3M Protection film installed last friday. Full Bumper, headlights, side mirror covers and quarter bonnet.

Will take some snaps soon and post up. Also heard stories about them changing colour over time. My golf 5&6 gti suffered from severe road rash and i wasnt keen on putting the mk7 through the same abuse...

Same here; I plan to do the 3M Pro Series Paint Protection this time around on my Tornado Red Golf R. Pro Series comes with a 7 year warranty and the marketing material states that it provides more color clarity.

It may be difficult to see a difference in pictures, but has the Red lost any clarity, etc. since installing the protection film? Which 3M film did you go with?

i think i might have found my new favorite color

Now if only your marketing folks could put together some photos of Tornado Red with your flow form rims! I need to see a visual of the finishes against the red before I pull the trigger.

Here's a POV shot I took last week from my little drive.

Just took delivery of a 2015 Golf TDI 4dr 6sp stick. Getting these in a manual is fairly difficult right now until more arrive. I made it more difficult when I said I didn't want a black interior - too hot here in SC! Drives great, my last dub was an 08 GTI w/K04, the TDI takes some getting used to, definitely a short shift car as the power is between 2 and 3.5k, and it has a nice torque rush there. I actually like the radio for a change, all come with bluetooth standard now. To be honest I think the DSG is a better match for a TDI, but I'll always be a manual driver. Really like the +40 mpg on commute to work.

The MK7 chassis feels great, car is tight and solid, and the handling is good, even with the dumbed down rear suspension - Golf's don't get the fancy GTI rear blade setup, but driving it you can hardly tell.
