Good work, it's got to be the easiest/cheapest/best upgrade in terms of bang per buck.

I know that saving the 30 seconds it takes to physically plug a phone is not life changing, but until one has experienced the pleasure derived from the charge icon coming up on a phone simply by placing in the centre console, others will just think it's a first world problem.

Rubber mat for mk4 is 2K5 863 330 9B9, should only cost a few € or £ and fits perfectly, will finish it off nicely.

I cheated i couldnt wait ha i used some light rubberised foam not sure if its from a toolbox drawer liner or something i almost forgot i had the roll of it in the shed and you are correct it is soooo much better than the carpet, looks far better in black and its also grippier for the phone

Had the van remapped by Joe Power at Stone Motorsport gone from 75hp to 156.5hp not a bad result and should be reliable too

Just a small improvement then! :lol:

I got a mild remap on my other 1.6 to around 140bhp and that feels much better from 105.

he gave me the option of 150 , 170 180 200 or 230 i decided against a large increase in case i blew the shit out of my clutch and gearbox not to mention the turbo and engine 😂

230?!?!?!?! I'd have definitely gone for that option, then probably regretted it at a later date :D

I wouldn’t. Standard is maxed around 150bhp.
With a 2.0 turbo, decat / DPF delete, large intercooler and pipework would only push around 200.

busy day today

tried fixing my rattly suspension by replacing the droplinks but it must be a shock or shock top Image

then i decided to fit the footwell lights thanks to Ryan (caddyluv) for the help and advice

then installed an LED strip in the rear as the single light is rubbish for finding anything

I like the footwell lights, how easy were they to wire up?
