What lights are they? They don't look like standard caddy or touran headlights

That's a photoshop where they've used the whole front end from a MK6 Golf GTi.

No not yet. Waiting to see what I'm doing about airride as that will influence it.

Near Gatwick. Been talking to Luke at Plush up in Leicester but he's not up for doing the fabrication to make the rear work as he says it's too expensive for his clients which is fair enough. Hoping to get more info from VW Racing in Milton Keynes but they've not responded to my email yet.

I've got a 2K booked in for air after I'm back from SEMA, needs fabrication yes but doesn't look too much, I'm allowing 5 days labour for fitting the kit.

How are you doing it? I'm trying not to have the watts linkage conversion as there are too many rose joints in that which end up being noisy. I'd prefer swapping to trailing arm setup like the converted for disabled use Caddy's.
