Hi thanks! just google Sirus Automotive you'll find them it's a huge workshop that makes mobility vehicles. I spent £1200 and got the seats and seatbelts fitted, got the rear carpet with storage, the caddy 4 life center console and had my speed limiter raised up with VCDS so that it doesn't work.

Seats yes and seat belts but carpet officially NO :lol: I saw your thread about the ebay deal but that's what they usually charge.

Does it matter what year the touran seats come out of? To fit say 2011-2012-2013 year caddy maxi?

Touran seats is a different kettle of fish, the seats Sirus do are middle row from a maxi life or Kombi rears (all same seats just different cloth). All fitted and seatbelts as per OEM spec. The Touran seats are different and a Caddy was never designed to have them fitted (although I'm sure there's safe ways to fit them).

I like the Kombi setup because not only removable but fold fully over out the way.

Ah I see I think I have confused myself so it's maxi life or kombi seats. Thanks for that. Would it be possible if you could take a few pics of your seats

Got the new bigger discs and carriers on the caddy whip today, just need to decide on a colour for the calipers now im thinking a steel grey might be nice. Next up lowering and colour coding plus a couple of touches to finish off the exterior 8)

Had a good day at the local breakers today, got two maxi life doors complete both with sliding windows. A real shame my vans not that colour I'd love if it was. Will have to get a quote to get them painted white. Got a load of other bits while I was there too :D

Doors will look good when fitted, just like a kombi

Yeah I can't wait to get them painted I'm hoping that they can just mask up the glass and manage to get paint in the gap. Wasn't intending to get the doors until I saw them on ebay and they were only down the road in devizes.

For £270 in this condition I couldn't ignore this bargain. Sirus want £600 just to fit one sliding window to your existing door, then you need all the trims etc I'll try to get a good deal on having all the parts colour coded with one batch of paint mixed up.

Next thing I'm buying are the roof rails that you've got :D
