no a scale of one to "dont bother you'll only do some damage", how hard are the hids to fit?
Pretty easy TBH. Cant believe not more people have done it. Like I said I bought spare bulb holders first so if they just disintegrated while I was drilling them... at least I had 2 that I could pop the old bulbs back in place and still be able to use the van.

But the plastic for the bulb holder is pretty softs and drilled nicely. I'll do a little write up some time

It's fairly easy for the costs to spiral.

You've got it looking nice, not a fan of the DRL's though

Aftermarket drl's can be hit or miss I think, I love them on new motors but they need to look OE to fit in. Vans lookin good mate.

Awesome, really love the look of these S3/S8 wheels.

Unfortunately I've waited so long to get my own Caddy there are quite a few with them on already!

I have DRL's on mine and even though the van is fully signwritten it's the lights that attract more positive attention than anything else lol :mrgreen:

Hi - I am about to change my front seats to Audi S3 seats. I have bought the Touran consoles and now have the seats - all good but
would really appreciate if you could tell me exactly what bolts I need to fit them ( How many - type - What size/ length) . I Obviously
still have the bolts holding my seats in at the moment ( are these of any use?). Sorry to sound bit ignorant but new to all this!
If you know a good place to buy that would be great too!
Thanks in advance,
Wally
