Tiguan Picture Thread

Hmmm, i'll go with MkII / 'facelift' / MY12 looking at the flat shape to the tail light base instead of the more rounded (dated looking) shape of the MkI...

Just checked, you are correct.

Looking good Tiggy155.... but needs more low

[Tiggy155]

Cheers fellas.. Yeah more low's I know! That Rline looks sick!

[Naresh]

What's that R Line sitting on - coilovers?

The Merc wheels look good but I hate it when poilished rims go milky.

I'm not sure what suspension set-up that R-line is running. Definitely a bit more than lowering springs - whether it's running coilovers or airbags I'm not sure.

In case you don't like the Merc wheels... how about some Bentleys

[Naresh]

Ooh sexy but only look good when slammed.

Bentley wheel on a Tiguan?! Now I've seen everything...

[Adam86]

Currently running 20x8.5, ET35 with 255/35/20s. Think I'll have to go for 20X8, ET45 with 235/35/20s, then hopefully I can slam it. The OZ wheels are about 3k a set which isn't as painful as the rotis but my pocket isn't overflowing at the moment.

Considering I can get something fairly decent looking from Tempe with tyres for $1900 it's a bit of a no brainer really.

Looks pretty sweet when it's slammed:



Still can go about another 10mm lower in the rear and 20mm lower in the front

A blast from the past here....and a little off topic.... But does anyone happen to know what KW coilovers pullstarter was running in his tig? Golf or tiguan?
Cant seam to find anything

Let me process your search request in my VWW memory banks .... ... .. . .

It is KW V1 version specific for Tiguan

Status: He had them for sale some time ago..

Reason: Traded in his Tig for a GTI

[Adam86]

Great, thanks Ramee,
I was actaully thinking it was tig specific after reading some for sale threads... but needed to make sure..

Ill have to start looking at getting some of these now...

Car Bra, Yes or No? APR Badge?

Car Bra, Yes or No? APR Badge?

Firstly, that's a nice looking Tig

I personally don't mind the car bra. And given that I have a few stone chips on my own bonnet, it probably makes some good sense too - particularly on country trips.

As far as badging goes, it looks like you've got an ABT on the front and APR on the back. I'd suggest going with one or the other (or remove them all). I'm not a fan of attracting unwanted attention to yourself so my suggestion is to be discrete it you're going to do anything. How about 200TSI? I haven't been able to come up with anything that I really like after debadging so I've left it clean.

The only other comment is that you need some wider wheels (or more aggressive offset) now you've got the flared arches. Perhaps when you're looking at a new set of tyres... ???

Oh and good to see another black Tig with black-out 3rd brake light. Looks way better on a black car

[romaniac]

hey suffolk can you post more pics of your new wheels, they look awesome!
