Wife's new Tiguan R line and my GTD

A wee break home at least and I hope all goes well with the op 😊

So a wee change of plan.

I am keeping the GTD and have sold my VRS for when the wifes Tiguan comes in a few weeks.

Looking at the GTD, it sits way too high and I really wanted the 19" Santiago's on it but there was too much of a build wait.

SO

I have bought VW Racing lowering springs, front and rear mud flaps, original 19" Santiagos that were on a GTD for 500 miles and rear 10mm spacers.

Once the Tiguan is here then I will sort the GTD out and it should look way better dropped 25mm and sitting on bigger shoes.

 

Nice work Chris

I've just ordered a carbon grey GTD dsg ….

Ours is a manual but the wife's Tiguan has been ordered with the 184 GTD engine mated to the DSG box with 19's and pretty much all the toys.

The carbon grey is a cracking colour on the GTD and would have been out first choice but we didn't want to wait on it getting built.

The guy I bought the Santiagos from has used the VW Racing springs on his and it sits lovely on the 19's.

So the new Tiguan has arrived sporting 19's, sat nav, Bluetooth, heated seats, folding mirrors and the GTD 184 engine mated to a DSG box.



The red GTD gets its VX Racing lowering springs on next week with the rear spacers and 19's

Nice bit of kit that !

Cheers Rich I think it's lovely.

Those pics were after 3 hrs of claying, polishing, sealing then waxing after the dealers terrible prep.

seriously mate !!!!!

The dealer should do their prep properly, I would invoice them for your times and materials  

Problem is they just have quick splash and dash valeters even at the main dealers now

After following your car changes for sometime now.

This isn't my favourite I was in love with a Audi

Before buying this we went back to Audi to see the new face lifted A6 Avant black edition but the reason she went with this is she loves the high seating position.
The A6 was a better looking car but this one will do 👍

19s with rear spacers on with mudflaps all round.

Better still VW Racing lowering springs going on this Friday

GTD now lowered on the 19's and looks great.

It's getting booked in for a once over at my detailer as there's 3 annoying light scratches and when it's there he is pro painting the calipers red and hubs black 👍

Looks better with the new springs, but isn't that your MK1 in the garage - thought you had sold it?

The mk1 went a week past Saturday and I think I took this pic on the Friday RichardHall

The car is booked in for 27th Nov for 2 days for machine polish and the hubs and calipers painted, half decent £200 for 2 days work 👍

GTD now back on the 19's with 20mm spacers on the rear and 10mm spacers on the front.
Calipers painted red, badges changed to black and mirrors painted black.
Black eyebrow spoilers and rear bumper protector

 

Lovely, where did you get the black badges from.

I fancy changing my vw badge to a black one..

I've got the same car but in Carbon Steel grey

Just eBay and it will look great on your carbon grey car as it's the best colour for a GTD IMO.
