Tiguan Picture Thread

Hate them Naresh!
Gary, these are better... But not sure abt them still. Seems to have too many lines going on? Hmmm

Hi Gary, I've seen those lights on Alibaba a few months ago and immediately took a disliking to them (not surprisingly ) so my search goes on. My initial fears are that that no manufacturer will want to even design any after-market LED lights for the pre-facelift Tiguan now that the new model is out. I do, however, think that if we send enough emails to Dectane then they may be tempted to build a version that looks identical to the Golf R lights. My common sense tells me they would most likely decline the offer as it would cost them too much money for all the tooling costs to set up their machinery for a new light, and would need to sell at least a hundred sets to break even.

Or one set at 100 x the price!

Hi Gary, very interested in the exhaust mate. Can you give me details on cost and compatiblity with the DPF please and if it was a straight forward fit?

Not too sure about the bonnet stripes though.

Thanks mate...just added a TRD similar to sprint booster to my tig today...boy i must say it totally transformed my ride to another level...it comes with 21settings instead of the 3 by SB...loving it n trying each setting now...its fun but my fuel consumption also suffers at d same time...now i really need the BBK installed sooner rather than later to tame this beast...lol

mate...its a custom catback exhaust...cant give u much details as i just went to a famous exhaust shop n tell them what my preference for exhaust note for my daily n long distance driving use....so far it adds a bit more bass n my tig finally farts like all other GTI during hard acceleration...haha!! but the good thing is it doesnt drone or make u crazy during highways run n constant speed after 120km/hr...loving it so far...
back to the installation part...its a day job in the workshop as it has to be measured n welded according to our tig's underbody setup...i didn't change the downpipe though...keeping my car warranty intact for time being...

[Naresh]

That does sound good Gary and I agree that a custom job will always reap benefits over an "off the shelf" product. Really like what you're doing to your motor and well done for pushing the envelope with the bits fitted.

I'm thinking of going dark grey or black on the roof - what do you think?

Not black as you already have a black moonroof. You could try dark grey or carbon fiber vinyl.

I like it as is. Not a fan of stickers or vinyl.
