Just joined the forum after reading a few threads and your build stands out the most - all 20 odd pages, Saturday night spent well :lol:

Very tidy van mate - props! Just out of interest did you carpet the front footwells or have you left them as is and just chucked a set of carpet mats on?

Hi llwsn, welcome to the forum and thank you very much. Your going to have some great Saturday nights reading the other build treads on the forum.

Right now I have the rubber floor floor covering and mats. But I do have a set of carpets on the way ;)

I have just got done finishing the Caddy R360 thread :shock: :shock: No words!

Think I'm just going to be buying a set of carpet mats and laying them over the floor covering. Good video on YouTube of this guy doing the conversion, he shares some good tips if you haven't watched it already 👍🏻

What a week its been. I was off work for a few days so me and the caddy were off fishing. Left Thursday and came home yesterday. I camped out in the rain, hail, gale force winds but I was re-warded with the biggest fish in the lake and one of the biggest in Ireland I'm sure. It was admired, photographed and returned. The sun came out on the last day, it was really nice to watch as it sparkled across the lake.

Anyway.... back to the caddy. When I got home this was waiting for me, hybrid MK7.5 front bumper. I am almost finished collecting parts now :lol:

I've got a 9 piece ABS wheel arch cover set for the van but I am a bit unsure if I will put them on or not, I will wait and see how they look and fit when I have all the other items fitted.

Also picked up a OEM PDC kit for the rear bumper.

All items dropped of to the paint shop yesterday.

The rear pdc kit is something I fitted on mine. Quite a straightforward job especially as it's the genuine vw one.
Coded the rear graphics easily to the vans rcd310 headunit with my obdeleven tool once fitted. It is a nice little touch.

I installed and coded the xenon's yesterday following the instructions in the How To part of the forum, all the posts were a great help.
