Group Buy EOI on Volkswagen Wheel Arch Extensions

[aussietig]

They look like the normal ones ... and not the flares.

Besides Chinese Tigs have a longer wheel base.

So not sure if that stuffs up the rear wheel and arch somehow.

Sorry but these are not flares, they are the ones on your Tiguan already.

I dont know about the Tiggy but I can't put flares on my Yeti because they cover the side park assist sensors. Fine without park assist.

Happy Days.

Really?

Really?

Chinese model has stretched wheelbase by 50mm through the rear doors.

I think these trims should be OK, but I'd be getting 1 set over first before committing to an order of 20.I've been burnt twice with trims from China not fitting so have learnt my lessson now.

I think if these were landed for under $100 a set then you'd get quite a lot more interest than $200 per corner.

As previously said, they are not flares

Yes they purpose built the LWB version based on feedback received directly from potential customers.

Unfortunately only Yao Ming's family turned up that day, to the focus group!

That's interesting. They build a different vehicle just to suit the Chinese market. If the Chinese market was that great, I'd expected them to make the vehicle to suit them and the rest of the world could just suck eggs.

I noticed the Tiggy flares/trim is quite narrow and clears the side sensors for park assist, unlike the Yeti flares. I liked the look of flares but I cant fit them since the Yei flares would cover the side sensors.

Happy Days.

Its common that most of the Euro's and some Japanese build lwb models specifically for China. VW did it with the Passat, Audi has A4/A6 versions and BMW introduced 3/5 series variants. Skoda is about to join them with a stretched Yeti. It seems the wealthy Chinese prefer the prestige of a lwb car and being chauffeur driven but what works there doesn't necessarily work elsewhere.
