Re: My new Caddy 4 build thread
Finally fitted my reverse camera and led lights. Was shocked to discover this
Never removed the light lens and the car isn't 1yr old yet.
Also when removing the trim the bolts were rusted and sized resulting in this:
The threaded part is originally moulded into the trim itself.
Old original bolt on right, new stainless steel on left. Had the new ones greased up as well

Re: My new Caddy 4 build thread
Had some free time at work so decided it's time to fit my new speakers and door cards
Prewired the mirrors for puddle lights and also fitted oem led light under the door card for extra bling
Adapters were made from MDF as the original speaker mounting is around 21cm diameter and oem dynaudio speaker is much smaller.
New door card fitted, matches the seats perfect!
Also added brushed aluminium window switches

Re: My new Caddy 4 build thread
Thank you lads!
It's the eibach kit I used .
Considering getting 18" wheels now as well but just not 100% yet.
Also thanks to cyberman_uk idea I fitted alarm led on the passenger door card for extra bling. Had to run wiring from drivers door reg motor as the passenger one has the pin in place but it's not live.
There's a mark underneath to where the hole should be to make location easier. Happy days!

Re: My new Caddy 4 build thread
Today I managed to fit one of the new touran 5T puddle lights into one of my mirrors.
Very pleased with end result.
There isn't much room in there as the light unit itself isn't the smallest.
Had to shave off the area to make the light flush with the trim.
Overall delighted!

Hi Tommyzoom,
Your Caddy looks great and sits just as I want mine on it's 17 inch wheels, what kit have you used and who fit it.
Thanks Gaj 69

Re: My new Caddy 4 build thread
Thanks Stan,
I understand 2 kits are available, a 35 and 45 mm drop, VW say they only supply the 35mm kit, I don't want to void any future warranty claim. Did VW fit yours and can remember what kit was fitted, a part number would be great.
Thanks Gaj 69
