Carpeted the roof and added some holes for some down lights, ignore the carpet bulging out I sorted that lol



Lovely and bright in the back now! Also wired a switch so I can turn them off when needed, will add a permanent feed to it in the future.



Carpeted bulkheads in now also, had a bit of a happy accident where I didn’t trim the ply floor enough for the bulkhead to slide in front of, but because of that the bulkhead now sits a little further back, and I can recline the seat much further back



Now onto making holes for the reversing sensor in the new rear bumper, was a bit scary, but the Sealey pdc tool I bought made it super easy.



Glad I bought the tool and didn’t just try to drill them, as it did a really clean job!



Not bad at all!



Getting the bumper and sensors into place however was a bit of a struggle!



Thank god that’s over



Painted sliding door cover installed



Rear door trim colour matched and fitted



Caddy life mirrors and painted side trim installed



So glad to get rid of those awful side mirrors!

Easy install, but I had an issue were the van wouldn’t start, reseated the connector in the back a few times and all is good



Also got an android head unit with CarPlay and hdmi output, so I can feed the dash that signal, rather than screen mirror straight from the phone. Also wrapped the head unit surround in gloss black





HDMI out from the head unit works a treat!
Had to take the dash out at this point, as audio was also coming out of the tiny speaker in the new dash lol, removed the speaker and reinstalled the dash, all done



Door handles also done in gloss black

You’re just paying for the tmg name with their one, best place to get one would be through https://everest-vw.co.uk/ a little bit more expensive than straight from china, but he really knows his stuff and would sort any issues quickly.

I think it’s great, really customisable and brings the interior up do date!
the only downside is it doesn’t fit the shape of the dash perfectly, the curves at the top of the dash are miles off lol. Some people put strips of black adhesive foam there to kinda fill the gap, but it doesn’t bother me that much.

corrigan42 wrote: Yep!
I've heard the mk3 might need a little trimming behind the dash to fit perfectly tho.

This is the one I bought, just be sure to select the correct year!

Only issue that's popped up after driving a few miles, is the "miles remaining" screen seems to be displaying the wrong number, looks like it's showing KM rather than miles... think this can be fixed via VCDS so will be giving this a go soon!
