I don’t have adblue so I should be ok with that side of things mind you I do have a window screen washers bottle that might get in the way.
Just need to find the loom connectors.

Thanks Peter.
It should be finished painting by Saturday.
So could be on in a couple of weeks. Need to get the fog lights wired to the BCM and the headlight washer jet.
I not sure yet if I need to change my washer bottle for a mk4 because of the fog lights.

I wasn’t sure if the BCMs on our vans supported fogs……that’s good to know mate.

Some guys have heated and reshaped the washer bottle I’ve read, might be worth a try

@peter
I’ve had to change my BCM to take the fog lights.
The one that came with my caddy didn’t support fogs

@Dislexicdonkey
I had some start it but I had to finish it.
It’s now gone to be painted and when it comes back I’ve got to do the fog lights and the headlight washer jets before I can fit it

I’ve seen a guy on eBay making them and selling them for £1499. Looks like top work that they do the pictures really make the vans stand out with that front end.

Have you seen the gti grills they make too? £400 for one but makes it look a lot more up to date.

I love it mate I think it’s going to look awesome

@Dislexicdonkey thanks buddy.
I can see why they are selling for £1499 the mk8 GTI bumper are £600+ then you got the touran bumper from £150-£200 then labour it all mounts up

I couldn’t find the right wiring loom for the front fog lights for the mk8 GTI bumper so I had to make my own.

Tested them on the work bench to make sure they work had to check I wired them up right. Image
