i havent seen this thread (for the MK2 that is) yet, so i will get it started!
here is a little update to my Tig.
today i installed a custom, toasted chestnut wood paneling floor. the planks were almost perfect size and only needed 8 pieces wide. we made the measurements off of the weather liner from factory and cut and sanded down for an exact fit. on the back side we installed 3 strips of wood for added structural integrity, then installed a custom nickel handle so it can be removed to access everything underneath the floor. the LED strip was plugged into the light socket in the rear and simply used double sided 3M tape to hold it in place, then just tucked the extra wiring under the plastic molding to hide. . lined with a 48 LED strip for lighting. went with this color to complement the dark moss green metallic paint and think it matches well in person.
also installed the DEautokey H7RC HID kit...but we all know what that looks like haha.
here is the flooring...
and here is a picture in the garage with the light off, to show the brightness of the LED strip and floor.
the headlights.....
this was a straight pain in the ass!!!! hahaha it took us a solid 3 hours to get both headlights seated, twisted and secured and installed. i have never had so much trouble with a headlight install as i did yesterday, but we did get them in correctly without having to remove the headlight itself. the output is perfect! and i am very happy with the results. just not happy with how long it took haha
so far, here is how my Tig is sitting as of this moment with a full list of mods...
1. full de-badge
2. H&R sport springs - springs from MK7 GTI
3. 19x9 Mallory wheels - VW OEM wheels from 2016 Tiguan R-Line
4. custom cat-back exhaust into cherry bomb (keeping it old school lol)
5. H7RC HID headlight conversion - deautokey
6. LED foglights - OPT7 fluxbeam
7. window tint
8. custom toasted chestnut wood flooring for trunk with 48 LED light strip
9. custom APK edited app to allow youtube video playback on main screen - http://www.thekirankumar.com/blog/2017/12/29/play-youtube-video-android-auto-app/
all in all, i think the Tig is coming along nicely. still trying to source the perfect wheels for it but im in no real hurry as i really enjoy the Mallory wheels that are on it now.
but enough about me, what have you done to your Tiguan today?
