thebutcher 5th Gear September 18, 2017 Share September 18, 2017 A question just happened to cross my mind. If i have solar film, do i still need the shade? And vice versa? Both block heat right? Maybe solar film also block harmful rays ?I believe the solar film blocks out most of the harmful UV rays. But you still need the shade to reduce the amount of sunlight getting into your car thereby reducing the internal temp of the car. Noticeable difference when you drive on a sunny day. And i need it more since my place is an open carpark. Only downside is going through customs.. my passengers have trouble removing the rear window shades. Cause of the snug fit. I end up having to reach behind and remove it myself. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceraider 3rd Gear September 18, 2017 Share September 18, 2017 I think there is no such thing as standard.they r always guarding their margi. E,g if u got half year road tax, maybe u won't get the camera etc. some gets everything. So everyone's deal is different. But believe those cheap stuff like floor mat usually have one.Half year road tax is standard thru out all dealers la. Some give one year auto. The road tax thingy aredy menitoned in brochure plus e reg fee all this. U can actually ask them throw in to full one yr road tax. Actually alot depends on SE. If those really good one, sure fight n give u more perks. Hahaah. Bro join e SGK3 FB page. Then ask e admin add u in e whatsapp grp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MsDreamy 1st Gear September 18, 2017 Share September 18, 2017 (edited) Yup that is right.

Hv to check the % I went to look at the brochure. 12 mths road tax is given. But r we referring to additional half year roadtax as 'freebies'? Can i join the whatsapp chatgroup without joining facebook group? Which brochure u referring to? The piece of A4 size paper with the prices? The pricelist (that can be downloaded fr their website n also here on mycarforum) put price inclusive of 6 months road tax.

Philipkee Twincharged September 18, 2017 Share September 18, 2017 I think half year road tax is standard cos I see it in the price list also. It's the other freebies that requires negotiations. Anyway good luck to all bidding this round Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebutcher 5th Gear September 18, 2017 Share September 18, 2017 Ok, what Is the average waiting time bro?The 1k servicing should be done in an hour or less. Mine took about 45 mins. Dont forget to ask for the complimentary wash, but it will take slightly longer. I told them i cannot wait more than 1 hr so they gave me a carwash voucher instead. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
