My friend is getting a black Tesla Model 3 and wants a full satin PPF. I'm also considering a Toyota GR86 and would likely do the same.

​

The pricing we've been quoted is all over the place, we've seen full-body satin PPF quotes ranging from around AED 3,000 all the way up to AED 18,000. One dealer-affiliated quote (like where im buying the car from) I received for the GR86 was around AED 17,000

​

For those who have actually had satin PPF done:

​

Which shop did you use? What film brand was installed?

How much should I expect it to cost actually?

​

Not necessarily looking for the cheapest option, but rather the best value and quality. A lot of the very low quotes make me wonder what corners are being cut.

​

Also, if i should option the PPF from the dealer and Include it in my car finance, or they're giving free ceramic coating and tint and just get that for now?

​

Appreciate any comments and advice guys

Hey everyone!

Im looking to finally get my own first car. Till now we've had a CRV, Altima (taught me how to be an annoying driver) and a Passat (this one specifically is mine and im dailying right now). I've been into cars for a long time and I think this is the time to get an actual sporty, cool car by my own.

I've narrowed it down to:

Used Toyota GR 86 (New is insanely expensive): ~125K with 20K ish km, 2024, under warranty

New Subaru BRZ (Same car): ~145K with brembo brakes, surprisingly the EMI comes out almost the same as the above car, with interest rates etc

Used Golf GTI 2023 Top Trim: ~115K, 30K ish km, 2023, under VW agency warranty till 2028

My insurance estimates for the above are ranging from 3-6 K depending on the car.

Also, ive put in hours in sim racing, ik its not real driving, but im confident I can handle a sporty car, just fyi.

Since we already have other family cars, practicality should be fine in case I need more space I can take the CRV. This car will be mostly for me, dailying to my work, and intend to put a lot of km in it. Even now with the underpowered passat I love hoodling it around, so im obviously looking for a fun drive.

What do you guys think? Advice, owners of these cars, other car recommendations greatly appreciated.

PS: Financially, about a max of 3K per month with 5 year or 4.5K per month with 3 years financing is my budget, for the car itself. Ofc fuel maintenance etc is separate
