    It's just a pity they don't go just a little jump further, all I need is an extra 50mm clearance and some decent high side wall tyres and my diesel Tiguan would be walking its way past past most of the Land Rover fleet !!

    At least you have track and field, but I'm stuck with ugly front and even have to watch when driving up on some driveways.

    Nice !! The problem with all the "add ons" is that they're just that ........... "add ons". It would be much better if you didn't have to pay the huge cost and take the associated warranty and insurance risks that all go with these sorts of "kits". Still NICE though !!

    These leaks are not accidental. The amount of free publicity pulling a stunt like this pulls exceeds any advertising budget.

    Looks nice too BTW.

    Hope we get the Track & Field version down under.

    1. I like the look of it better.
    2. SWMBO like the look better .... critical component !!!
    3. The increased apprach angle of 28 degress would be very useful for country work.

    I asked that question and the respond was negative one. Appearently the waste majority of the Tiguan owners never leave the bitumen.
