Thanks.

The dealer normally doesn't register the vehicle at RTO. They only get the Temporary number for the vehicle. Anyone registering with RTO needs these forms.

They also have one that comes with 10 years warranty but that is around 900 or 950 bucks per sqft

I will get it done after my travel (that ends on 5th).

Did you enquire about the Garware PPF ? I got a quote of 500 per sqft from Brotomotiv in Pune. It comes with 5 yr warranty and i got a quote of about 1.2 lacs plus GST. They did a Safari recently with the same film for 85k plus GST, the top was wrapped in black. 2 lacs seems to be a bit too high.

I have also kept option open for buying it from Nikhil (Nick Zeek). He quoted me 38k for full role of 15 mtrs which is more than enough for a whole car. Detailers keep the extra role and typically use the same film when we claim warranty. These are Korean films with 5 yr warranty. Garware is manufactured in Aurangabad in Maharashtra.

I didn't get a chance to review the channel or to contact him however, I did som due diligence to find if we can really buy these rolls. Indiabulls and a friend of friend who do wrapping (yet to speak with him) gave me confidence.

My delivery is due in Nov-Dec, I am sure that I will made a decision by that time.

Scuff plates look dope, they are now in my list

2L is on a high end! You can buy the best film, get some experianced detailer, rent a neat indoor place for a few day and still save a lot.

Does 38K include material and installation? Can you share more details on the installation part?

I don't think that is the case in Haryana. I got an Ertiga in 2020 and the dealership took care of everything. Same for my friend's Brezza purchased from a different dealer and city.

My uncle recently got a Creta in Delhi and he never visited the RTO.

What confidence did your friends give you ? About buying the role from nick zeek ?

38k is only for the role. Detailers will charge around 15-20k for installation and paint correction to be done before applying the film. If you search on Indiamart, lots of vendors will contact you with their prices and details for PPF role. Any established detailer will try to shoo you away from buying such roles as he is potentially loosing a customer, may be many, by doing so.

Dealers only do the registration in most of the cases. It is only in few cases that the users want to do it on their own.

Only confidence is that I know someone who can wrap the car. I will update the thread with my discussion with him.

Getting it done for 55-60K from Nikhil is a great deal. The main challenge is the quality of film. Some detailers are quoting similar and using TPH not TPU.
TPU is the right film.

Default is the dealer, unless you want a number of choice.

Hi Team, this is my very first post and I am really happy to be a part of this family.
Firstly congrats to the ones who received their deliveries. I know I am very late to the booking party, but my dealer says I should be able to receive the car sometime late this year or early next year. any thoughts?

What was the specification of the ppf ? TPU or TPH ? I also got in touch with him and he quoted 40k for full roll (170 microns TPU).

TPU only…TPH is cheaper than this and not that long lasting. Few vendors connected with me on WhatsApp via Indiamart and have quoted similar amount for other brands like Anexguard.

The time line given is usually on the higher side,Mahindra underpromises but over delivers, you will be getting your vehicle by next year certainly not in 2024

How accurate is Mahindra’s online booking status?
In my case, as per booking portal the car is supposed to go in production soon but I received a call from the dealership that the vehicle is on the way.

Hello buddy,
According to my experience with the online app and dealership status update, yes there is a delay on auto.mahindra.com. Having said that, please don't trust the dealership people either and ask them to get the vehicle in the showroom for PDI and only then you should pay them (loan + money transfer, or whatever might be your choice). Once you see the vehicle physically, only then you should go ahead with all the formalities like Invoice, Fastag, RTO etc.
Hope this is helpful and wishing for your speedy delivery!
Do share your experience once you get you Beauty and Beast.

Happy driving!

Aftersales service of Nickzeek remains questionable. The detailers he had tied up with may not be up to the mark IMHO. I have seen his videos of getting PPF done out in the open, such conditions are derogatory to the coating process. Any detailer charging one time fees of 15-20k will surely not be in a position to provide any aftersales. If someone is getting it done in open, je is bound to get issues. Additional those charging additional amount on account of aftersales, provide six monthly/yearly correction on the coating in addition to warranty of at least 5 years. Though getting done from professional at additional cost may not be worry free given that PPF is becoming popular only for last 2-3 years only and trustworthy-ness of these detailers is yet to be proven. But said that, additional cost gives some piece of mind.

Stock Head units are highly equalized, if you wish to have really good sound, get an DSP+AMP+SUBWOOFER setup. Suggested thread for gaining some knowledge.

My booking status on auto.mahindra.com says 'order in planning' but I have had the car in my garage for a couple of days now. So yes, the tracking system is very far from accurate.

Thanks Brother for the details, this is surely helpful. I was actually looking something that does not make me go all ballistic on procuring these components and just add an additional component like a subwoofer for instance just to enhance Bass. I kind of took a gamble while booking the Z8L version because the different between Z8 features and Z8L was 12 speaker Sony setup, front camera and driver drowsiness feature. Camera is subpar , drowsiness feature - not sure how much reliable that is and that leaves the Sony music setup and now i feel i should have opted for Z8 version and do a custom install with amp+dsp+speakers etc.
