Nudge Bar for Tiguan 2011

Did you consider what effect the bar might have on the operation of the air bags in an accident, before deciding to fit a bar?

I've purchased and fitted the ECB bar.

It seems that it covers the front of the Tig more adequately than the model you have listed.

We have hit a small roo with the nudge bar fitted and it more than paid for it fitting price.

I'm very satisfied with the ECB bar.

Cheers,

Des

Hi Max

Yep I did consider this. That's part of the reason I chose ECB. They are ADR compliant and are air bag compatible and also have spot light mounting tabs.
Overall I'm very pleased, especially since I do a lot of rural and out back driving.

Thanks Des,
I followed up with ECB but unfortunately they don't produce a bar for 2012 on in their normal production runs. Hoping that they might be able to modify an earlier bar to fit. Will contact their new products guy & see how we go.

yarrwarri,

I contacted ECB last year about this exact same thing as I have the facelift model ie 2012
The response I got was at that stage they had no plans for the 2012
I even offered them the use of my car for some development but they weren't overly interested

I don't think that much has overly changed in the front end other than the facelift grill etc I think that the main problem for the 2012 onwards most of the cars now have park assist.
I for one have park assist and the sensors sit right where the bar comes up the front.

Unless they have other reason for which they weren't interested.

Maybe things have now changed

New Front Nudge Bar - any thoughts?
