    Interesting. My car is a Tiguan 162 so need to check it's worth. More than scrappage I hope :-)



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭forumdedum


    Thanks of this. Are these firsts like the early ID4s that had extras included?



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,037 ✭✭✭✭tk123


    Yep so if you specced one up back they where first announced you could pick and choose what options you wanted. Then they switched it to the 4 canned specs we have now.

    Well you could potentially sell the Tiguan privately for a better price, then buy a banger for €500 and trade that for the €4k scrappage 😁

    Scrappage caveat is usually that you’ve had to have owned the vehicle for X no. of months prior to scrapping it. This might be different as it appears to be specific to one VW Dealer rather than being a VW scheme.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭forumdedum


    I could :-) Think I'd be happy to sell Tiguan privately with no worries about the sale

    We took a little spin up to collect a parcel in Newry yesterday evening so about 200kms round trip and used 51% of the battery.. not hugely different from what I would have expected from the eNiro. We did hit some pockets of traffic on the way up which saved some battery but I wasn’t trying to save any and cruised at 120 the rest of the time. Nice comfy drive. I do prefer the kia app and infotainment but getting used to VW’s(!)

    Someone has gotten themselves the top wrap

    I wasn't quick enough with the camera to get the front 😅

    I gotta say, it looks absolutely class in the two tone colour, really helps it to stand out

    I got the top wrap too 😎 i actually went out earlier and cleaned all the dead flies from yesterday off my beautiful white front lol

    Classy machine alright, the two tone really gives it a lift..



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,791 ✭✭✭mailforkev


    Needs to be a bright colour with the top wrap for maximum coolness. Saw a plain black one out in Joe Duffy Airside last weekend which completely loses the impact of the cool styling.



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,257 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    The one I saw looks to be black with a white top wrap. I think it looks pretty cool, kind of reminds me of white wall tyres on a black classic car for some reason

    I do agree the brighter colours would suit the two tone colour a lot better

    If I was buying a black Buzz then I'd be tempted to let the lower half wrapped in a dark grey or blue or something, more like the other ID cars

    I think the dark colour on the Buzz People is a dark blue metallic.

    I saw a two tone while and teal on holiday and it looked great. I really love that colour and it's interior.

    I went for the silver which I think looks fantastic. Its just enough on the conservative side given I use it for a work car, but still being bright. VW do some great silvers since the 2019-era Golf and Passat.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,208 ✭✭✭joe1303l


    What did it cost to get the top wrap done ? Who would you recommend to do it ? Thanks



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,037 ✭✭✭✭tk123


    It was €1100 I think? The dealer organised it so was wrapped when I collected it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,208 ✭✭✭joe1303l


    Sounds like good value, transforms the look of them.



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,037 ✭✭✭✭tk123


    I went to my local Aldi last week but freaked out at the underground carpark as there’s 2m limit.. it was only my second time driving the buzz.. will it fit or am I going to tear the roof off? Is it worth the risk lol. Google is saying it’s 1936mm



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,911 ✭✭✭GTE


    I've recently shat myself about that too. I had a stretched hand between the roof and the entrance height limit sign at a 2 metre limit car park.

    It was fine in the end, but do keep an eye out once your inside, going up or down floors. I'd not go near Dublin City car parks in this thing yet.



  • Registered Users Posts: 33,895 ✭✭✭✭listermint


    I think they warn lower but are higher. For example I drive through those signs all the time in my renault traffic and it also contains a double bar roof rack. Empty rack though but still ads about 150mm

    Returned from an appointment today to find that one of the badge/emblem things (I’ve since learned they’re called bulli badges - the 3 black stripes ) gone off the car 🙄 I guess whatever tape they used when they reapplied them after wrapping is crap. Annoying as there’s 2 ugly stripes of foam where it was now. 😫😫



  • Registered Users Posts: 11,257 ✭✭✭✭the_amazing_raisin


    I remember watching Sandy Munro teardown the ID.4 battery pack and he was talking about how it's better to glue parts together than screw them because screws and bolts always loosen

    Bloody twat, I wasn't bothered listening after that. What he missed was that it's a lot f**king easier to redo a screw than glue

    Anyway, looks like someone in VW was listening unfortunately

  • Registered Users Posts: 14,037 ✭✭✭✭tk123


    Yeah just annoying as I now see it every time I pass the car! Like the foam is completely dry and not sticky so it must have just dried out or loosened in the sun. I’ve messaged where I was parked on the off chance it’s there.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,208 ✭✭✭joe1303l


    Vandalism or hot sun/cheap double sided tape ? If you’re sorting yourself, 3M make pretty good stuff in all sorts of thickness and widths.



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,037 ✭✭✭✭tk123


    Not vandalism as I didn’t leave the car - was my dog’s appointment and I’m his chauffeur! Saw one on eBay for €30 + postage 🙄 for .. small strip of rubber/plastic. That one fell off so easily there’s no way I’d pay that to replace it when there’s 5 more!


    UPDATE - I found it around the corner this morning! One small piece broke off but can glue it back on.

    Good few demo models sitting around now. At €53K, this seems like a lot of EV for the money with decent enough spec on it.

    I’ve only seen 2 buzz on the road since launch.



  • Registered Users Posts: 758 ✭✭✭darrenheaphy


    Is the top wrap something you can add afterwards? I like those ex-demo cards but would much rather the two-tone colour

    The dealer can probably organise it for you. I was looking at their demo initially and planned to get the top wrapped. Then went mad and got a new one lol 😝
