Couple of questions, if anybody knows/can help.
Anybody here know where i can source seat covers for a Caddy Maxi 2.0 DSG 7 seater (2018)?
Only spot I found so far in country is https://escapegear.com/

Also any idea where I can source side skirts from?
Welcome! I got the Escapegear seat covers and can definitely recommend them. If you do go for them, get the canvas and not the waterproof covers. I don't think there are any official side skirts for a Maxi, you would have to adapt something from another car (many people on this site use Audi ones).

Thanks @anoneamus, will do some checking on the Forum once I get my count up to request unlocking to the other sections.
Also thought the canvas will be better and more comfortable (softer) than the waterproof ones.

Aw, out vans could almost be twins... Next up, aluminium vent surrounds... ;)

Did you ever make it to Cape Town?

@Russ74
Nice! I was looking at brand new TT vents, but the price is ridiculous. Kinda gave up on getting anything useful from Cape Town scrapyards. Not sure I care enough to put major effort into a vent change, but may give it a go. Haven't ventured much off the range, in terms of parts. Have some Golf and Touran parts, but mostly Caddy. Going for OEM+ (ie. could be OEM) look.

Hey, @Russ74 , did you manage to sort out the inner rear door handle?
I'm trying to find one myself, but I'm a bit new to this and haven't even managed to find the part number. Any tips would be appreciated, thanks

Hi no I haven’t as yet
I see eBay has a few here’s a link

https://www.ebay.co.uk/c/25028602030
Also there is a part number. You can go to your dealer give them the part number and they will order it for you. Image

There’s a really good how too in the tech section that details how to do it and the part numbers for all the parts!

And you’ll find the main dealer a lot cheaper than the price on the snip from eBay, I was £50 from the main dealer for all the bits!
