Definitely type tiguan into ebay and have a look around.

Exterior B pillars, lights, dashmats, carpets etc.
There is so much stuff, mostly ffrom overseas but with our strong dollar it will make it a lot cheaper to get.

Car Mats

There are mats on Ebay Australia all the time. Both rubber and carpet.

Do a search for Tiguan and a few sets always pops up. The prices are good as well.

An Aussie-made towbar?

Hayman Reece does them. The Australian-spec Genuine towbar is made in NZ by Best Bars, if that counts.

[Tedhaggie]

Suspect you have to add the VW wiring kit to the Hayman Reese . Their web site doesn't list a bar for the Tig.

I note that the Best Bars site says you have to add the genuine wiring kit.
From talking to my VW dealer the bb seems to be a hitch receiver type bar
Does anyone have a photo

are the BB and HR hitch receivers compatible

Emailed Hayman Reece and got a reply email on the 30th of July. They said they are working on a design for the Tig and hoped to have it ready in 8 weeks from the dated email.
The eight weeks is just about up, I should be told when they have one in production and I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Interesting.

I'm pretty certain one of our customers has a Hayman Reece bar on his. I'll check into it during the week.
