    Installed the towing module on Sunday in my wife's new Reflex Silver SE. Now I'm just waiting on the two inch hitch I ordered from Amazon.

    Is the towing module the wiring? How was the install?

    Yes, VW part number 5n0055204NA. It includes the Y harness wiring, module and Pollak adapter. There is a good thread about it here.

    The module installs in behind the left side panel in the hatch. The Y-Harnness installs to wiring underneath the stearing column. It took me about 1.5 hours which included searching online for better instructions. The ones that come with the kit are pretty poor.

    Glad i didn't...that looks excellent. Very nice looking and surprisingly very professional.

    I painted the calipers on my 2013 yesterday along with installing AWE Tuning aluminum pedals.





    Calipers are very subtle but I like the contrast against the white Tiguan.

    Nicely done! Was the process difficult? Did you have to take apart the entire grill?

    Thank you! The process wasn't incredibly difficult, but it was very time consuming. If you want to do it I can explain the process in detail. It took me about 4 hours to do all 8 strips. I don't know of a way to remove the grill without taking off the bumper, so I just did it with the grill on. It took plenty of heating, tucking, and precision cutting to get it done!

    Flares are a serious must though but they're 600 bucks plus for half an inch of width.kinda screwy to me
