Nudge Bar for Tiguan 2011

[Tiggy11]

Hi - I am looking at nudge bar options for my 2011 Tiguan, I am in Brisbane.

I see ECB make one that others have posted about a while ago, but has anyone tried the 'Everest' brand nudge bars available on ebay or their website?

VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN 5N (2009 - present) - NUDGE BAR

approx. $350 delivered for a 3" polished stainless steel... seems fairly simple to install and doesn't look too bad.

I'm not keen on spending $800 or so on an ECB product...

Any comments appreciated.

My only comment is if you have forward park sensors, mounting any nudge bar can possibly interfere with the sensor operation.

If you don't have sensors, go your hardest and report back your findings

I've purchased and fitted the ECB bar.

It seems that it covers the front of the Tig more adequately than the model you have listed.

We have hit a small roo with the nudge bar fitted and it more than paid for it fitting price.

I'm very satisfied with the ECB bar.

Cheers,

Des

Thanks Des, the ecb certainly covers higher on the grille and looks good too. My only concern on the Everest bar is that being a bit wider it might obstruct the towing point. I might give it a go anyway and report my findings in the coming weeks.. Looking at putting on some IPF 800xs lights too.

I've fitted driving lights on the ECG bar.

Lightforce 170s? Are they HIDs or Halogens? Did you fit them yourself?

What did you do about your front park assist sensors?

The sensors were not affected by the installation.

They were fitted as a "freebee" from the installer. Not sure of the specs.
