It is truly a very versatile platform.
What, spend 5% of the value of your car for a coat? :PQuote:

Agreed on both fronts.Quote:

It’s definitely on a future shortlist although the missus is also eyeing off dual cab numpty status while I want to see more of the new Toe-rag (the five pot ain’t going anywhere).

I find the whole wheel thing a bit hard to understand, I wonder if it is change for change sake or what. When the new wheel is chosen let's hypothetically say the car had come from VW with that same wheel would the owner change it because it did not look good enough?
Wheels for cars is like shoes for women. There should be no justification needed for having multiple sets of wheels. They are like an accessory and can dress up or dress down a car.Quote:

It can be change for changes sake, or it can be to rectify hideous mistakes in VW design. The days of VW churning out some of the best stock wheels in the business is long gone.Quote:

Obviously there are also big handling benefits in dropping weight, although that may be more geared towards us smaller car guys.
But yes, if I was in the Tiguan market and had bought an R Line I'd be desperate to swap into something nicer - ideally the 20" five spoke Europe runs or the Kapstadt as an OEM option, or any quality reputable branded wheel.
And no, getting them gloss black from the factory with a cheap badge stuck on the back, would not change my mind. ;)
A bit lower and some front tints and this is a nice clean upgrade, OEM feel courtesy of the Audi style wheels.Quote:
