Golf parts that fit our Tiguans

[aussietig]

Never quite understood why our top spec Tigs aren't quite as equipped as their top spec counterparts in the Golfs.


Anyhow here's my attempts at correcting this wrong:

Shark fin antenna



Aluminium pedals




NOTE: All these were taken from the Mk5 Golf GTI parts bin (except footrest).


Now VAG ... stop being a tight@$$ and give us the equivalent chrome flat bottom steering wheel with DSG paddles!




EDIT: Read further on page 2 for details of Mk6 Golf shark fin antenna & steering wheel

Not easily plug and play.
You have to swap out the airbag as the Tig one has a different mounting bracket.

It was done on vortex and there is a guide on mytiguan as well i believe.

Correct BUT it wasn't a DSG gearbox it was linked to, don't know how that will effect things ?

No one wants to hear about those narrow focus, asphalt bound cousins here, not even joking...you might be threatened with an infraction...eh Team? LOL.

Been boiling over that for a little while now...

I hear you

It is a shame that we don't get some of the GTI stuff when the car is built on the same platform with the same engine.

You're doin' just sweet in your Tiguan (unsanctioned) R, I'd reckon.

Yes ... I want more value for my over-priced 125TSI, besides just a 147TSI badge.

Aussie, can I ask where you got your led gear from? Do they have the inbuilt resistors? I've been toying with the idea of inserting a row into the headlights. They have the perfect location across the top.

Just eBay mate and yes ... with in-built resistors.

Have also changed most of the interiors bulbs to LED.
But they can just be normal LEDs as no errors are detected.
