    rentaspace's 2013 103TDI progress thread

    Hey guys, thought I would start a progress thread as I do have some future plans for the missus Tiguan,
    For now at least here is the only 'decent' photo I have taken:


    From left to right, My Work/Daily Nissan Cube, My Fiance's Tiguan and Her Kia Rio:



    And lastly, a single photo of my Weekender (It's got JDM plates now but pretty much the same):



    As for my Fiance's Tiguan, I think the chrome front badge will be Plastidipped soon to pink like her rio. I will also be eventually getting some window rain visors and possibly some side steps for it and finally eventually I want to chip tune the Tiguan and see how it feels after that as I do want to get a bit more power and Torque out of it (I'm used to my Caldina lol).

    Thanks guys, I was considering the paddle shift conversion, but the missus shot that down as she would never use them haha.
    The side steps she doesn't like but I want to try and convince her to make washing the car easier, and they will also help once the kids are here haha.

    We got ours down to 4.2L/100kms from Sutherland Shire to Canberra and back which was insane.

    Well, nothing much has changed Tiguan wise as I save money in preparation for the twins to be born.
    Only change has been I managed to pick up a set of Thule roof racks for $130, just need to get a new key made as the original owner lost them and then lock them to the car.
