VW Tiguan III 571 Front Bumper LA6H 571807221

Part Number: 571.807.221 (Base Shell) / 571.807.221.GRU (Primed)

Color: Sage Red Metallic (Code: LA6H / 3Q)

Model Year: 2024–Present (Tiguan III)

The 571.807.221 is the core front bumper skin for the third-generation Volkswagen Tiguan. Sourcing this in Sage Red Metallic (LA6H) is a highly specific find; this color was introduced as a hero-tone for the Mk3 launch, emphasizing the vehicle’s more curvaceous and premium MQB Evo design. This bumper is engineered for high aerodynamic efficiency, contributing to the model’s reduced drag coefficient.

Technical Specifications

• Chassis Compatibility: Type 571 (Third Generation only).

• Material: High-grade Polypropylene (PP/EPDM), optimized for pedestrian safety and impact absorption.

• Paint Technology: LA6H is a complex metallic finish that utilizes high-frequency aluminum flakes to shift from a deep red to a soft sage-undertone in different lighting conditions.

• Sensor Ready: This base part number typically comes with pre-marked or pre-cut holes for the 6-PDC sensor array (supporting Park Assist Plus).

Key Features (Type 571 Architecture)

• Integrated Air Guides: The internal structure of the 571.807.221 includes specialized ducting to channel air toward the front brakes and the new active grille shutter system.

• ADAS Housing: Designed to work in harmony with the Front Assist radar located behind the central VW emblem.

• Trim Interlocks: Features high-precision snap-fit points for the chrome or high-gloss black “C-Signature” trim pieces found on Life, Elegance, or R-Line models.

Professional Installation & Configuration

1. Color Matching (LA6H): Because Sage Red is a “flip” metallic, if you are performing a partial repair, ensure the bumper is oriented at the same angle as the hood (bonnet) during any supplemental spraying to ensure the metallic flake “lays” identically.

2. Sensor Calibration: Once the bumper is reinstalled, the vehicle will likely store “Static” fault codes for the parking sensors and ACC. A guided fault finding (GFF) session via ODIS or VCDS is required to clear these and recalibrate the 360° camera (if equipped).

3. Hardware Note: The 571 chassis uses one-time-use “stretch” plastic rivets in the wheel arch liners. Ensure you have a fresh set of N 909 747 01 clips before beginning the swap.

4. IQ.LIGHT Integration: If the vehicle has the top-tier Matrix LED system, the bumper must be perfectly leveled to the IQ.LIGHT housing. Even a 2mm sag will interfere with the dynamic headlight leveling sensors.

Component Overview

Inventory Note: As Sage Red (LA6H) is a newer, specialized color, factory-painted parts are rare on the secondary market. This unit is an ideal “donor” for a premium repair, avoiding the complexity of matching the 3-stage metallic look from scratch.
