My Silver 18 plate Caddy
Hey All,
So I picked this little gem up on Saturday morning:
Few bits already ordered:
Mk 5/6 GTI seats:
Seats obviously need some work, but have a guy who can retrim them for me, or at least sort the bolster out.
I've ordered the following list of bits too:
LED headlight bulbs.
LED rear bulbs.
Black carpet trim for rear.
Touran seat rails.
Exciting getting a new vehicle to mess around with - had a lease vehicle for the last 12 months so have been limited to what I can do to it.
Will be updated as regularly as possible.
Cheers!

Re: My Silver 18 plate Caddy
Seats are now in my possession.
Does anyone have a good upholsterer? Just need that drivers side bolster sorting.

Re: My Silver 18 plate Caddy
Managed to add the following bits:
LED Main / Dipped beam.
LED tail lights - full set.
Been considering a stage 1 map for it too. Place local will apparently map to get some good increase for £100.
Looking at sound deadening stuff too - trip to Scotland from Yorkshire and I was nearly deaf when I got back lol.
More updates to come!

Re: My Silver 18 plate Caddy
Office in heckmondwike (dewsbury pretty much), and I live in Barnsley. You local?
I’ve spoken to a couple of guys local to the office about the upholstery - £120 to sort it out which I didn’t think was bad.
More updates next week.

Re: My Silver 18 plate Caddy
Couple of updates for you all:
Debadged (no photo as it was raining when I finished),
Private plate on,
Seat booked in at upholsterers for couple of weeks,
Spoken to Carlton tuning (on my doorstep) they can remap for £100 (on offer at the moment) so will likely take it there ....Darkside are good, but I think they're pricey in comparison.
More updates to come!

Re: My Silver 18 plate Caddy
So had the van mapped yesterday. Holy sh1t what a difference!!
100x more responsive on throttle, and generally drives much nicer. Very happy.
Had it done at Carlton Tuning in Barnsley - £100 and done while you wait usually - took an hour and half ish to download the current map, modify it and reupload.
Been looking for ideas on getting light / power into the back - anyone any suggestions?

Re: My Silver 18 plate Caddy
Just dropped off the drivers seat with a local upholsterer. Hopefully have that back in a week / 10 days.
Just need to get some Touran bases now - does anyone have any for sale?

Re: My Silver 18 plate Caddy
Relatively easy update for this, managed to get the drivers side door sound deadened ready for the new Focal speakers up front:
Also managed to get the tweeter pods mounted in the sail panels - ready for filler and sorting this week:
New Android head unit in and working:
And stripped the rear end ready for sound deadening and carpetting:
