Pioneer TS-WX120A compact under seat Sub
Updated heater control knobs
VW Touran seat bases
VW MK7 Golf R Seats
VW Caddy Life Centre console
Team Heko wind deflectors
VW TDI engine cover - custom painted
Van-X Glove Box lid
VW Dash Storage compartment with lid
VW Under bonnet insulation
VW RCD510/310 USB Panel Input Switch
VW RCD510/310 AUX Panel Input Switch
VW MK5 Golf Gti Pedals + Aftermarket R Foot Rest Cover

Managed to get a good deal on eBay from a guy who was less than 10 minutes drive away so couldn't resist!
They came with the rear seats & door cards so hoping to get those sold on eBay soon

The build is coming on really well inspired!

Sorry in advance for the question as I am sure you have been asked this, how did you get on with fitting the seats was it fairly easy?

Thanks much appreciated!
Yes they were surprisingly easy to fit.
The Touran bases went straight in and after shuffling the seats around a bit to locate them on the bases, it was an easy job bolting the seats down. I only needed a spline hex bit on the end of my wrench for the bolts
