Tiguan Body Kit

[Tigger]

Has anyone got the Factory / Dealer fitted body kit on their Tig? I noticed on the official VW aust website under the accesories section that it is "not yet available".

I have seen one fitted with it at a dealer, and thought it looked good...

Any thoughts?

Haven't got it purely because the cost for an aesthetic only mod was prohibitive.

I would only want the track and field kit for softroad use rather than the Aus delivered bodykit.

I quite like the bodykit, apart from the fender flare. The aluminium accent on the front bumper looks the business. I'm pretty sure the cost will be prohibitive.

I like the aluminium accent, but it's on the track and field front as well, hence why i like that one more.
Just waiting on the US guys to try fitting it before i look at that path though.


The cost would be similar to APR stage 1 or 2 which is much more useable imho.

Agree!! I think i'll go for a 'sleeper' look for the Tig.

I agree that the APR is a must. I do like the 'tougher' look of the bodykit though...
Ah...to convince the good wife that I NEED both the APR and the Bodykit...

here is a link for one on carsales.com.au that has the kit fitted:

Off topic I saw a Q5 with the Sports (offroad) kit looked absolutely wicked, I think this would enhance the Tiguans styling

OK...ready for this guys??

I finally heard back from Barloworld todya re the price for this bodykit...

Would you all believe me if I said: $5,200 for the kit...PLUS painting...PLUS...fitting...

Now I know that one has to spend money for quality, but that seems a little over the top?

Love to hear your thoughts.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


That is rediculous.
I was going to enquire about a possible retrofit of the "track and field" front end but i won't bother now.

$5200 can get you a pretty decent second hand car now.

Mate that's why they don't push it when they sell you Tig. I asked my dealer too when we were buying and he quoted similar price, when he rang me later.

Just so you all know, the "aluminium" accent is actually ABS plastic.
It is a skid plate that can be attached to the front of the Tig.

VWVortex.com - Body side moldings?


anybody got the black plastic painted like the silver car in this thread? It looks great, but i wonder about the cost?

Slightly O/T:
Was thinking about painting the side mirrors gloss black.

Cause I kinda like the Golf R colour coding (especially on white)?

Then it occurred to me ... anybody wanna swap their black ones (even though not gloss) for my whites?

But I know it's a big ask!

Ahem, no thanks, but you might get someone that wants to put the chrome cover on their black ones...
