Hi @Hef355
Control Customs mate, they’re down in Devon (TQ12), excellent service, I sent it on Wednesday, they got it Thursday, and it was back here this morning. Going to get it fitted and coded on Saturday hopefully, as I’m off this weekend

Cheers

So you sent a standard polo wheel to them and they recovered and shaped it like that and fitted the paddles too? Amazing! Can I be so bold and ask what it cost? Don’t feel obliged to say if you don’t want to buddy I can ask them tomorrow

Chaps
It was £397.00p all in to build a bog standard Polo GT wheel into the spec I wanted. Reshaped wheel, with Nappa Leather perforated at grip, and plain nappa leather at top and bottom, Piano Black R Line trim, and I wanted Gold Paddle shifters to match my seats. A little on the dear side, but I’ve been working my danglies of for weeks, and thought I’d treat myself

Sorry @gazza31112

I’m a Caddy Life @Hef355 so all 7 seats are matching, I’m looking to get the centre armrest trimmed next, and possibly the retrotrims A Pillar trims with gold stitching as well

@petrev is that the recycled plastic insulation?
Is the van any quieter now you've done the sound deadening and insulation?

Yes - B&Q finest recycled plastic insulation.
For thermal insulation mostly, but should be helping a bit.
Car seems quieter, but psychoacoustics may be working. Always difficult to tell definitively, but seems better to me.
