Nope, not a straight fit.
There are a few people who have fitted them, I seem to remember the preferred method was to chop up your caddy dash vent to provide a fitting "ring" for the 8p A3 vent to sit into. Then you need to adapt the rear to meet the caddy dash ducting.

I bought some thinking they were but as said, they're not although not difficult.

8V Vents look to be the best upgrade as they're nearly a straight fit but you'll pay muchos for these..
:shock:

what sort of works involved in making them fit i persume i need to remove the surround off old ones ans cut out to glue new ones in place also do the vents sit nicely in the ducting
