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 :-)

Time for another update.
Things came to a bit of a halt due to me damaging my back some how.
I finally finished the bodywork today so it's over to the paint shop and out of my hands for a while
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)
Mk6 mfsw with grey stitching
Mk7 golf gear knob and gaitor with grey stitching already fixed to the caddy surround
Mk6 golf climate/heated seat control
Kenwood DNX521DAB direct fit HU
Kenwood KSC-SW11 under seat sub
On there way but not here yet, a set of audi A1 dash vents.
Not ordered yet but will do soon. Mk6 emblem camera
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.
