Seat coversion
Have just started the rear seat coversion on my 2016 Caddy.
I’ll be uploading photos and some progress details (problems!) as I go.
The plan:
Rear seats from Caddy life,
Rear seat belts,
Rear carpets (with storage) from Touran,
New plastic sill trims etc
Bulkhead cutting
New interior panels and storage,
New headlining with additional lights
Parcel shelf, sound proofing etc etc.....
Watch this space!

@JeffJam31
Usually people use Caddy Maxi seats or Touran seats as the floorpan is the same so both can be fitted as Factory (middle seat seatbelt for touran seats is a little awkward so many opt for maxi seats for that reason).
Other than the very basic bench seat in the factory crew vans I haven't seen any other seats fitted in a Caddy personally.

Re: Seat coversion
Okay, I may try it because I found a good deal on a full GTI interior.
If it’s only drilling holes and fitting inserts it should be fine.
Though I’m guessing caddy seats are easier to live with.

Re: Seat coversion
I hope you make a thread on it as I'm intrigued to see how you get on! A full tartan GTI interior would look very smart!

Re: Seat coversion
Edition 30 would be even better, part leather and heated fronts

Re: Seat coversion
Heated seats are really nice but it’s nowhere near cold enough here to use them.
But the leather gets searing hot in the summer.

Re: Seat coversion
Have also fitted the wheel arch covers.
Im not really impressed with these- they are not particularly strong and will crack very easily as I use this for my work tools.

Re: Seat coversion
Next on the list is to sort the storage:
Sliding door card and offside panel card with storage for rear passengers,
Parcel shelf and wheel arch covers to give a flat load area when the seats are folded,
Storage on the rear doors,
Any other clever solutions I can find....!
Will keep you posted thanks!
