I got the bumper from a place we deal with in Germany.
My van has been moving slowly but should pick up again soon.
Just need to finish the bumper and then that and the kit will be high build primed then its paint time :-)

I have been busy collecting parts so I have everything ready when it's painted.

Mk6 golf heated leather

Touran seat consoles with pockets (£70 the pair eBay find)

Image

Mk6 mfsw with grey stitching

Image

Mk7 golf gear knob and gaitor with grey stitching already fixed to the caddy surround

Image

Mk6 golf climate/heated seat control

Image

On there way but not here yet, a set of audi A1 dash vents.

Just need to order seat looms and hope I can convert from A.C to climate.

That is all :-)

They do fit! Check my thread.

Hoping my van wasn't the main reason for your back Matt. Get yourself to a good osteopath as that has definitely helped me in the past when I've done my back in. At least your van is on the home straight now. Can't wait to see this finished. Your membership card for the CCWAOC is in the post.....................Caddy Cross Wheel Arch Owners Club!

Thanks guys.
It's strange, I forget how many mods the van has got.
I asked my brother the other day if he could paint the side rail runner that sits behind the cover black so you don't see it and then remembered that I don't have a sliding door :-)

Hahaha, brilliant! But thats a cracking idea. Might be better to get it powder coated for durability.
