I picked only those accessories to get from the dealer that I either couldn’t get from outside.<\/h2>\n

BHPian Maky<\/strong> recently shared this with other enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Sharing the list of accessories I got for my new Tiguan. I did not add this in the original thread post as one of the items was on backorder and just arrived the other day.<\/p>\n

For my accessories choices, I picked only those accessories to get from the dealer that I either couldn’t get an exact perfect fit for my car from outside or I simply couldn’t procure from a third party at all.<\/p>\n

Tiguan specific Car Cover<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

For this, I chose to get them from VW themselves to get an exact fit. First time I ever got a car cover, my car usually sits in my garage but due to renovation work the garage wouldn’t be available for a few months, so went with these for the time being.<\/p>\n

Magnetic Sunblinds for the Rear windows and Quarter panel<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

For similar reasons, I got them from VW officially to get a perfect fit. Would like to mention that for the door sunblind, the bottom does not have a metal surface to latch onto so they do wave around a bit when opening and closing the door.<\/p>\n

The ‘Sporty’ Pedal caps<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Worth mentioning, that all official VW accessories seem to be imported from Germany directly. Not a hint of localisation for this CKD even here.<\/p>\n

Loading sill for the dickie<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

Another VW official accessory. The product seems to be a very very thin sheet of aluminium. In the accessory description, they mention ‘Stainless steel look’, very cleverly worded and placed so at first glance one might think It’s a full Stainless Steel accessory.<\/p>\n

Tiguan Door sill<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

This was a mistake. I thought I was buying the illuminated sill you see placed above. Turns out the car comes from the factory with it. The one I got was completely unnecessary… labelled ‘Tiguan’, placed below and is not illuminated.<\/p>\n

The ‘Dynamic’ hubcaps<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

A bit of an indulgence. The logo will stay upright whether the wheels are in rotation or stationary.<\/p>\n

The ‘7D’ floor mats<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

People advised against this as It’s difficult to maintain but I liked the design and pattern so I went with it. Picked a Black with Black piping, you can choose lighter Beige or Brown tones with the piping colour of your choice as I recall.<\/p>\n

This was some 7.8k and I got this done from outside.<\/p>\n

Jump starter and portable Tyre Inflator.<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n
