Got this few days ago from eBay.. but it's fit and finish is a big fail. It will not line up with the bumper correctly and edges are hanging out from the bumper. Can not recommend this at all !
Thought I could cut other side too so I can use this as a quad exhaust valance for Tig. but this one is a fail !

Sorry to hear that you imported a piece of scrap metal
I've found buying bits made in China a bit hit and miss. The Tiguans over there are a kind of hybrid between 2008-2011 and facelift 2012+ models using some of the styling cues from the 2012+ (i.e. grille) but headlights from the early version. Foglights don't match either model here and they have a longer wheelbase than the rest of the world.
I'm not sure where you saw this advertised, however if it was off ebay Australia you'd probably have some recourse but if it was off an overseas site it's going to be a lot more difficult.

RSB will take you 30m tops.
If you park where a flat is falling away to a slope you don't even have to jack the car up just slide under from the back.
You'll need some triple-sqauare bits. I can't remeber the size - sorry.

Some data logs of intake air temperatures with stock and S3 intercoolers installed. They logged in nearly similar times of different days with ambient temperatures nearly same on same path from my work to home. Logs show a very clear decrease in intake temps with S3 intercooler even though it is not an ideal intercooler, still heat soak little bit at traffic lights.
