Hi mate. They look like the right parts you’ve selected. I’m not sure if you already know, but you’ll need to get a 2011 bonnet too as it has the cutout near the grille for the VW badge. Also, you will need both headlights.
Some people down under have also mentioned that shipping parts from Poland can be a bit cheaper too, so you may want to have a look about.
Good luck with your conversion mate

There is a full parts list in the how to section. It’s more comprehensive, and a bigger job than I thought it would be. Unfortunately I can’t post the link as it’s against forum rules, but you’ll have access soon enough.
Didn’t see anything on how to do the job, maybe check some build threads.

Have read through kentdi140’s build thread. It may be similar or even the same as what you have planned

On which years did they go through various facelifts?

The 2k caddy was facelifted in 2011 and 2015. The 2015 facelift also got a totally new dashboard too.

They never are mate. It’s the colour that makes it. Pure grey is one of my favourites

I would be careful reading too many of the build threads, there’s some great builds and ideas which may (probably will) help you spend a lot more money
