@ Rohtang666. Gutted to see your lovely van damaged like that mate. Glad to hear you’re ok and you weren’t in it.
Hope you get it sorted one way or another smoothly mate.

Sorry to see your van get hit like that. Especially when parked. Glad your OK and hope you get things sorted through the insurance.
The next caddy should look as good if not better.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to get the footwell light kit?

I salvaged a set from a golf at my local scrapyard and wired them into my replacement CECM (from a VW EOS) and after coding they work a treat, not sure if the Caddy ever came with the footwell option.
You could I suppose wire them into the back of the interior dimmer switch, not sure of the connection point though, there is a thread on the forum with details of the tapping point. This would make them dimmable with the rest of the interior lights.

Re: What did you do to your van today?
So don't normally post about things I've done to my van, mostly because I'm always doin mods n stuff, but I'm really impressed with the difference this one has made to how the van drives,
Caddy subframe, Passat B6 wishbones, S3 bushes, what a difference in the handling

Hi Mate. Yes it is a W8 interior light. It was one of the cheap ones off AliExpress mate but seems genuine. Came in a genuine vw box and bag and is stamped vw. Ermmm think it was £20 mate. It comes with one end of the loom but there’s a “how to” on here pal to make the loom and it looks pretty straight forward to do. I’ve just ordered the loom parts from TPS mate for pennies.

Just gave the caddy a wash on the outside and a good clean on the inside

@Sean1066
The wishbones are from a Passat B6 or you can use Audi S3 ones if you have the alloy subframe they will fit, if you have the pressed steel frame, you will need to change it all for alloy

Re: What did you do to your van today?
It's likely yes, but my other van I've just striped, had the alloy cross member, with steel wishbones, , but they had the S3 style rear console bushes
