Description

For those Tiguan owners who cut the grill to allow better airflow I designed this to make it look more professional. Just print two and turn one over or mirror image on your bed plate if you want to iron them to make them neater. May need some fine tuning with a box cutter to fit neatly. Couple of drops of super glue will keep it in place.

Mine is a 2014 Tiguan Pacific.

Bed adhesion for the honey comb portion may be problematic, I used a glue stick to make sure.

As my car is garaged I used PLA. Suggest something UV resistant if parked outside.

Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
