# β‘ Protint β Premium Detailing & Protection for MG Windsor EV
## π A Special Note for MG Windsor EV Owners
The **MG Windsor EV** is a revolutionary electric crossover that redefines spacious, tech-forward urban mobility. Launched in September 2024, the Windsor has quickly become a sensation, crossing **50, 000 unit sales within 400 days** of its market launch. Built on MG's dedicated electric platform, the Windsor combines a striking 'Aeroglide' design with an exceptionally roomy cabin, a massive 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, and segment-first features like the 135-degree reclining 'Aero-Lounge' rear seats.
Available with a **38 kWh battery (332 km range)** , the Windsor EV is offered across multiple trims: **Excite, Exclusive, and Essence**. JSW MG Motor India also offers a unique Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) program, allowing customers to purchase the vehicle without the battery and subscribe to a battery rental plan, significantly lowering the upfront cost . At **Protint**, we understand that Windsor EV owners value:
- **Maximising EV Range** β Reducing AC load to preserve battery life for longer journeys
- **Family Comfort** β Keeping the spacious cabin cool for all passengers, especially with the panoramic sunroof
- **Next-Gen Tech Preservation** β Protecting the 15.6-inch screen, 9-speaker Infinity system, and connected features
- **Aerodynamic Integrity** β Maintaining the sleek 'Aeroglide' profile with undetectable films
- **Resale Value** β A well-maintained electric vehicle commands a premium in the used market
> **β οΈ Important Legal Note for Indian Windsor EV Owners**: Indian law mandates **minimum 70% VLT for front/rear windshields** and **50% VLT for side windows** . Aftermarket tinted films are strictly prohibited unless they meet these VLT standards . The Supreme Court ruling of 2012 and Kerala High Court's 2024 clarification both emphasise that any aftermarket film must comply with these transparency requirements . **Penalties** for non-compliance can range from βΉ500 to βΉ1, 000 with on-the-spot film removal . **We strictly follow the law** by recommending **removable mesh sunshades** (legal only while parked) and **factory-fitted tinted glass** (OEM option) .
## βοΈ Legal Sun Protection & Heat Rejection
The Windsor EV's large glasshouse and optional panoramic roof require effective heat rejection, but we use only legally compliant methods. **Removable sunshades are legal only when the vehicle is parked and must be removed before driving** .
### β What is NOT Legal
- Any aftermarket tinted film that reduces VLT below 70% (windshields) or 50% (side windows)
- Using sunshades or curtains **while driving**
- Reflective or mirror-like films
### β
What IS Legal
| Solution | Legality | Best For |
|----------|----------|----------|
| **Factory-fitted tinted glass** (OEM) | β
Always legal | Permanent UV/heat protection from MG |
| **Removable mesh sunshades** | β οΈ **Parked only** | Protecting interior when stationary; **must be removed before driving** |
| **Windshield sunstrip** | β
Legal (max 15cm height) | Glare reduction |
| **Window Visors (Rain Guards)** | β
Always legal | Ventilation without direct sun |
### π‘οΈ Legal Sunshade Options (Parked Use Only)
MG offers official **Sun Shades** as part of their essential accessories for the Windsor EV, priced at βΉ4, 499 . For protecting your Windsor while parked, these custom-fit removable mesh sunshades are excellent for:
- Protecting the premium leatherette seats and dashboard from UV damage while parked
- Keeping the 15.6-inch touchscreen and cabin cooler during extended parking
- **Must be removed before driving** to avoid legal penalties
## π‘οΈ Paint Protection Film (PPF) β Invisible Armor for the Windsor EV
The Windsor EV's sleek 'Aeroglide' design and large body panels are magnets for stone chips and parking lot dings. A high-quality PPF acts as a sacrificial layer, absorbing damage that would otherwise damage your factory paint. The **MG Windsor EV's paintwork and body panels are covered by a 3-year factory warranty** against manufacturing defects like peeling, blistering, or cracking . Our PPF installation complements this warranty without voiding it.
### π° Real-World PPF Cost Reference
Based on a real MG Windsor EV owner's experience, a dealership quoted **PPF at βΉ1.06 lakhs** and **ceramic coating at βΉ40, 000** as add-ons, which the owner politely declined . Professional PPF pricing typically varies based on:
- **Size and Type of Vehicle**: Larger vehicles like SUVs require more material and labour
- **Condition of the Paint**: Existing damage may require paint correction beforehand
- **Film Brand and Quality**: Premium films (XPEL, 3M) cost more but offer better protection
| Coverage Type | Approximate Price Range (INR) | Best For |
|---------------|-------------------------------|----------|
| **Full Body Premium PPF** | βΉ1, 00, 000 β βΉ1, 50, 000+ | Maximum protection, long-term ownership |
| **Full Front Package** (bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors) | βΉ40, 000 β βΉ60, 000 | Highway-driven, vulnerable to stone chips |
| **High Impact Zones** (bumper, hood edge, door sills) | βΉ25, 000 β βΉ35, 000 | Targeted protection for vulnerable areas |
*Note: A real Windsor EV owner was quoted βΉ1.06 lakhs for PPF by a dealership . Professional detailing prices vary by city, film brand (XPEL, 3M, Garware), and installation quality.*
