Got fed up of looking for decent priced caddy life door panels so I made my own sliding door cubby hole panel

Went to the local scrapyard this weekend and made some decent finds.

Amongst other things I found a gear knob and a handbrake cover in leather from a Caddy -18.

First mods to my Mk3. Fitted a new cabin light with reading lights and LED bulbs. And fitted a new heating A/C control panel with heated seat controls I snagged on eBay, in preparation for when I find a reasonably priced and good condition pair of heated front seats. Heated seats is the one mod my wife is 100% behind

that interior light looks great

Yes, I'm very pleased with it. Big difference to the dull yellow glow from the old one. It's from Travelin-Lite.

I take it changing the interior bulbs to led doesn’t trigger a bulb warning?

Not so far. I read on here somewhere (a comment by Doc iirc) that as long as there is still one interior light that remains a standard incandescent bulb there won't be a warning light. So in my case the rear load area is still standard. Although I'd like to upgrade that too as it's pretty dull in there in the evening.

That’s good to hear, the stock bulbs inside and out are terrible on the Caddy.

New seats from Karoq Sportline.

perfect, just seating position a little bit high for my taste.

Anyone have idea how to lower them maybe?

@ Pepi Cro - those seats look super comfy, what bases did u put them on ? Much faffing around ?

@ Doc re Kobat79's comment - is that true about the lights and keeping on to avoid a canbus warning ?

@ Kobat79 - thanks for the info

Original car bases, but I have passenger caddy or how you call it in UK caddy life.
I think the original bases on car are same as Touran bases.

Made seat adapters for electric stuff, only seat occupied sensor not working.
I think modern vag group cars have more modern sensor that needs module for seat occupancy.

@pepi_cro. Those seats look great mate!

@stu_b. Having LEDs in the interior lights will not give you a bulb out warning on the dash. However you may get some flickering if there isn’t an incandescent bulb in the circuit. I know I did on mine so left a standard bulb in the rear.

@ swan ahhh good to know, there aren't too many interior lights in my Maxi.... I have purchased some new H4 LED gloves for the headlights (I put a post up but no one responded so I pulled the trigger) I also purchased an adapter so I'm waiting delivery and then time to install
But I'm also thinking about the interior / rear etc

@ Pepi Cro - I wish I had the knowledge, experience and equipment to make a transition for alternative seats
If they were a simple bolt on to Caddy rails that would be best for me
I have a Maxi so it may be different to the life as I think that is an upgrade model ??
