Clean up

[RhysQ]

Agree on the Tig picture thread....much needed, however, not the best pic/s to start the thread. I hate everything from ABT....EVERYTHING! That is the ugliest Tiguan ever.

[clip]

yeh, I think agree. It looks too much like a grown up Smart car or something.

[clip]

nice pics Team V, but you couldn't resize them could you? Bit hard to see the whole car. :)

[Sharkie]

Man that Tig with the RS4s and dropped stance looks good. I'm glad I'm going that route as well.

[team_v]

We get Baby Blue instead.

If only we got a nice dark blue, i have seen some from norway that are navy blue, it looks ace.

[Transporter]

It would be maybe worthwhile to ask at the time of ordering. It is common in EU that you can custom order colour incl. interior.

[DJY]

Only blue in Australia until now has been the Catalina Metallic Blue.

Biscay Blue (aka the R series blue) is coming though... I don't believe the Catalina Blue ones can be ordered any more.

[Pullstarter]

Nice interior!! Best colour choice too :)

[cubes]

Thanks for the post, its like I am getting a preview of my order 3 months early except with a manual instaid of auto, the light interior works well with the dark paint. Did you option tinted windows or is that just the factory glass?

[DJY]

Great combo!
Great colours!

If the lighter leather was more cornflower colour I would have done the same.
I think the lighter leather looks amazing with the dark exterior!

Unfortunately for me - with a dog - I didn't think it would be manageable.
Great colour - great specs mate!

The light interior looks fantastic I think, however it does mean we need to keep on top of keeping it clean, but its worth it. We did option the tinted windows, it is the darkest legal tint apparently, although i'm sure i've seen windows with much darker tint. I waited four months for this car, and I have to say i'm not dissapointed in the slightest. Well worth the wait. It makes you want to drive, even if you've got nowhere to go!

[Pullstarter]

There is definitely a distinct lack of colour choices with the Tig :( I also would have DEFINITELY gone with a charcoal grey/gun metal if it was available. HOPE YOU ARE LISTENING VWA!!! :brutal:

[DJY]

great photos - especially to compare the height difference!

Wheels look great - and did I spy some foggies on the front now too mate?!?!

Still keen for you to wash my Tiggie though - yours looks great!!!

Thanks Dave,
Foggies were factory mate :) I'm using the Mint Waterless Wash and very happy with it, gives a great gloss :)

P.S. Standard fee still applies for a wash

[DJY]

Mm standard fee was 1 million wasn't it!??!?!!
Lucky I bought the same waterless wash product buddy!

My Tig ... Some bad phone pics at the dealer upon delivery ....... more to follow ..... :biggrin:
why do I get the feeling that it's not going to look like that for very much longer!

Congrats Sharkie - and an early arrival too! Now the fun begins!!!:banana:

Yes, a whole month early based on the order estimate ... :biggrin: My time to spend on it is limited atm so it will stay like that for about a month now .... :frown: ...

[team_v]

Nice car sharkie.

On the upside, you will be able to tell the difference more easily when you do the upgrades if you have to drive it stock for a month :)

[cubes]

Nice car, IMO the Mountain Grey looks the best out oof the other colors in the stock 125 setup.

[DieselTig]

Mine is Mountain Grey and cant wait until Nov7th for delivery.
I will need to get some instructions how to post some photos here.

[harrip]

This one is actually a TDI. Nov 7th will soon roll round - worth the wait :)

[DieselTig]

DieselTig Try this sitehttp://tinypic.com/, it seems easy enough to use, it took me forerver to get off my ass and upload some pics, now I ahve a backlog of every Tiguan photo i could get off the web ,stock and modified.
Thanks Cubes, I will give it a go.
Clip, I got the 18" wheels and I reckon It is going to look brilliant with the dark tint, definetely worth the wait.:banana:

woa - that's funky Team V!

[team_v]

woa - that's funky Team V!

I thought so too.
Nice to see some tuning potential out there for it.

Really digging those Savanah 19" wheels.

[fuzion]

whoa, that's my car! I'd like to keep the VW grill emblem, but I didn't think I liked the dark headlights, but that looks the duck's guts! (now where did I see those for sale again?). What's most interesting is I was thinking of painting my lower front skirt white too and getting rid of the black. Has the effect of increasing the aggressive front stance and lowering the body height. Might just do the whole lot after seeing this!

Off to Super Expensive on Sat for a couple of cans of white plastic paint!

get it sprayed properly, or it wont come out.. spend the money and have the result or to the dodge and it'll look the dodge!

[cubes]

Nice to see the New York wheels on some other color than black, um you can see your rego number through the blacked out plate on the second last shot

Cubes, fixet it thanks.

[cubes]

Good to see a silver Tig instaid of all those blacke ones;), like Pullstarter time for the H&Rs to set off those wheels but then again the wheels are the only indication of the goodness lying beneath the bonnet the dropped stance would verify this.

[ultra]

would like to post some pix of our new tiguan ..AKA..the black stalion... but not really sure how to

[Kyeema]

Here's mine, sorry also a black one...

[Kyeema]

Thanks, I wrote that because Cubes a few posts up said he was glad to see a silver one instead of all those black Tigs. Wasn't really serious, maybe I should edit and add a smiley :-)
Personally I love the black!

[Kyeema]

I just recently discovered the headlights have the VW logo on them. Would be cool if they actually would project it, but they don't ;-)

I wrote that because I have a black one as well :smile: and was having a dig at myself feeling a bit like a muppetchicken(or sheep) anyway here's to all the black Tigs :happydrunks:, the color definately suits the car. Again nice to see a bit of variety and individualisation of Tiguans.

[suparockin]

I want those wheels...

:(

[Kyeema]

It's not a Tiguan (duh), but how do you like this for off road?

[team_v]

Might want to add an [/img] tag to the end of the image links.

Cherry red is not my favourite colour and the roofracks are standard on all tig's.
She still looks great though, that's the god thing about a tig, no matter what it still catches my eye.

I SEE NOTHING

VW Ups the Luxury Ante with Special Edition Tiguan Track & Avenue
that's the worst looking mish mash of colours and options you could possibly choose :icon_crazy:

It must only be for the US market surely. That coloured interior with the existing black trim looks like a bad photshop effort. And why in anyone's name you'd put low profile 19" wheels and tyres with off road track front end is anyone's guess!

I hope they never bring it out here.

It's obviously VW's attempt to use up spare parts in order to reduce stock loss's when they start production of the new model Tig next year.

Same thing happened with the Mk5 (Edition 30, Pirelli etc)

[clip]

I spy ... Clip (white with Jap looking wheels)
:eek: team_v wash your mouth out!

It's the ducks nuts, it really is. Awesome colour, and yes, the sat nav is worth the money. Get it factory installed though, so you get the antenna mounted into the Aerial :D

I am going aftermarket for a stereo/satnav so i don't have to fork out another 3k to the dealer.

[Water Boy]

I saw a Tiguan doing massive doughnuts on a footy oval last night!

Sounds pretty dodgy.
The haldex should have kicked in and transferred power away from the slipping wheels.

Did you report it to the police?

[sawters]

i'll drop mine round hey, great job

hey do you always leave in ya towbar?

No worries, if you are in the area next weekend I'll do it for sure :P

Only had the car a week and haven't checked out pulling towbar out. Besides, seeing as I didn't end up with park assist, its my rear parking sensor :1orglaugh:

[147Tig]

... seeing as I didn't end up with park assist, its my rear parking sensor :1orglaugh:

Wow, that is an expensive parking sensor that you have there, and I'm sure that you get use out of it :P

[team_v]

Looks awesome tanehy.

Mine is coming in a few months.
Blue 125 with a new set of wheels as well.

Any more plans for it?

[team_v]

Nice, looks like you had fun over there.
To be honest i would be scared of getting sand/salt everywhere so I would never do it but at least you got to test the Tiggy out.

Love the tailight picture.

Had to get an all red TDI badge and a TSI badge with red S and I and put em together :)

Simon, you just need to now get another 2.0 badge so you can cut the . out from between the 2 and 0 then add the extra 0 to get 200TSI

That'd put the cat amongst the pigeons!

[Pullstarter]

Don't get me thinking John I hate doing badges! Always paranoid they aren't straight LOL

Nah .... you don't want to give too much of the game away .... that way you will have less of that satisfaction when you embarrass chipped GTI Golfs ...... (amongst others) .... :eek::cool::bowdown:

Need to get some kind of little GTI badge for just under side mirrors aka WW2 fighter plane kill insignia ....

Another damn oil burner!! Just heckling :D Nice ride, is that mountain grey?

[mojo]

Yep, Mountain Grey.

We've also got a Landy, so the Tig is our second oiler :D

[Glennb]

Hi All,
Come on people, stretch your risk profile a bit and send some action/offroad pictures! Or was VW right when they said that they envisage that only 5% of buyers would take these cars offroad?

At the risk of being accused of cross-posting, a few of my favourites.

But it might get dirty!!! OMG!
Just to annoy you JJ, i'll post a pic of our brand new shiny Tig with 18" rims which will probably never see a spec of dust in it's life. :banana:

[Pullstarter]

Yes, VW is correct.

[Sharkie]

No VW was incorrect ... I'd suspect its around 1% .....

Mine will never see even a dirt road .... to me its a high performance AWD hatch with decent interior space ....

[clip]

...
for our interest and the Tig I hope that modifications are successfully pursued all directions
you bin dringing again Jim? :)
