    Thanks for the feedback!

    I think I saw a couple of photos of your Tiguan in another thread / forum - when you installed your fog lights...
    any more photos in here or around?

        Nice car.

        Must say those photos look better than the car I saw at my local dealership. Of course, its hard to tell from a photo, but maybe the inside lighting at the dealership wasn't showing off the silver leaf at its best?

          Very nice!
          I see what you mean by the Silver Leaf looking slightly different depending on the lighting situation!
          Some great photos - especially the one taken at Manorburn Dam!!

          Looks like the 103TDI auto in NZ gets chrome around the windows and chrome roof racks too? Or is this something you have done?

          Nice 4Motion badging as well! Is that your doing?

            Yep the NZ one comes with chrome as standard (NZ standard is diesel, auto, 4motion, park assist, auto headlights/wipers, auto tinting rear view mirror, dual-zone-air, cruise control, multifunction leather wheel, alarm, 17" wheels, chrome (widows and roof-rails), rear fog). I've fitted the front fogs, stubby antenna and done the re-badging (red i on the TDi and 4motion badges front and rear). We bought it with the "luxury pack" (leather, electric driver's seat, heated seats, roof storage, RCD510) and "off road pack" (28º nose, extra skid plates, off-road electronics and compass etc).

            Glad you guys like it, we're thrilled with it (still) and love every moment of driving it.

            Cheers

              Nice list of standard inclusions!
              Seems the Kiwi's have done it better than VWA?

                Just had a look at the VW NZ site. After getting over the shock of seeing the Scirocco for sale over there (the 147kw version is NZD 55,990, or about AUD 44,800), the Tiguan is listed at NZD 54,990, or about AUD 44,000 vs AUD 39,190 for the Aussie version. So the nice list of inclusions do come at a price.

                Why can't VGA bring in the Scirocco when NZ, a much smaller market, is able to do it?

                  Unfortunately all our vehicles are dearer here than in Ausi BUT we do get stuff before you guys and some stuff that you never even see, so I guess it's just swings and roundabouts. I think the fact that we're prepared to pay a bit more means we get some of the exotic stuff before you because there's more profit in it. A bit like the Americans are complaining bitterly about the choices they're getting in Tiguan but the reason is that the profit level on a Tiguan sold in USA is way way less than one sold to you or me.

                  Cheers

                    I have a black car (new Honda Accord Euro), and never again. Looks great the day you wash it, and dirty for the next month!

                      My last car was black (VR6) and I've ordered a black Tig, washing cars is a hobby and not as expensive as modding Hmm but then again I do that too.........

                        125 6 Speed TSI

                        Yes been lurking here for a while and had a good look at thread before purchasing new Tig.

                        Picked up a reflex silver 125 TSI manual , with comfort pack and towbar , delivered on 6th April.

                        Sounds like may have been lucky to get one as soon as ordered virtually....

                        Very happy so far upgraded from 1994 Camry which was bought new..

                        About only regrets are managed a flat tire (Pirelli P 6) in first 48 hours , and with Tassies off-road opportunites should have definitely gone for the off-road kit (can this be retrofitted NZ Tig or anyone) and further yes they are made to come with foglights and don't look quite right without.....

                          Don't know about the off-road kit retro-fitting. A number of people have asked and the answer is "I don't know". There appear to be two main parts, the electronic one which I "suspect" may be retrofittable as it is available as a relatively cheap option and so "may be" just an electronic reprogram and switch in the main BUT I'm not sure if the standard Tig has the required angle sensors for the hill-decent control etc. The other part is the 28º nose and added skid plates etc which I doubt would be an economic retrofit cos even the fog lights are different as well as the bumpers and possible both front wings etc etc.

                          As you probably know I've retrofitted the fogs and they certainly do UP the look at the front.

                          Sorry this doesn't help much but it's all I've been able to find out.

                          Cheers

                            Not even 2 hours old yet... but mmmmm I love it!
                            Under the bright lights in the dealership...
                            the black - is almost a blue black!

                            Had to race home though as it started to rain... and didn't want it to get wet before I showed it of... but I don't think I can NOT drive it again tonight!

                                I only just noticed this morning - as it was late when I picked up my 147TSI last night that the badging has red letters for the "SI" on the back.

                                Does the 125 also have a red "SI"?
                                I think the 103 only has a red "I" - and was wondering if that is another visual difference between the 125 and 147?
