A little update. I fitted a parrot kit this afternoon and also had a huge deliver today consisting of vamxx coil overs,touran seat bases, under seat storage,centre console, as my new caddy has high miles the steering wheel needs replacing so for the time being I managed to pick up a mint condition four spoke steering wheel for £30. Honestly it's like new.
I'm off to Northampton on Saturday to collect new front vw Jetta sport seats.
The van is booked in at the body shop on Monday for touran front bumper and full colour coding also the wheels and suspension are being fitted on Tuesday the 8th of April.

More bit have arrived today.
Unfortunaty the vw jetta seats were not supplied with seatbelt buckle/anchors do I have had to order golf mk5 5 door ones
Also my newly recon gearbox has started making a whining noise so it's got to go back in under its warranty so I've had to postpone my body shop.

Many bits means many scrapped knuckles! Good luck fitting it all, bud. Great choice of rimmage!

Nice collection or bits there.
What size are the wheels and tyres?
Are those pedals from ebay £49.99?

You will need to grind some of the plastic away underneath near where the bolt hole is and its a tight fit onto the lugs.

TBH mate i was going to do it the same way the how guide says by removing the new pedal from the base plate and reattaching it to the original pedal base.

I gave the low line clocks a facelift tonight by adding chrome rings to them.
Pleased with outcome
