Sent some interior trims off to get painted gloss black with red flake.
Got the email saying it's all finished today, a few little previews.
Will get some more pics up when they arrive, loving how they look so far

Passat w8 light fitted.
Wire for the red ambient lighting ran down to the light switch (grey/blue) wire so they only come on with the headlights.
Massive improvement over the caddy interior lightImageImageImageImageImage

Thought I'd try something different with my DIY grill light, I'm just not happy with the brightness now when the suns out. Iv tried countless different strips and types of LEDs but nothing has been as bright as the OEM LEDs you see on the road.
So bit the bullet and brought an ali express special Mk8 GTi grill and it's surprisingly easy to get the led strip out and modify the caddy grill to accommodate it!
Bit of messing about still, trying to fix it in securely but super happy with how it's looking so far!
One little bit of damage where I cut too much out but thats fixable
Old on the left new on the right

Will update pics when it's all in and finished ImageImageImage
