Looking to rub it down, treat the rust, etch prime and spray it India blue or perhaps finish with black gravitex, not sure yet.

Hiya, cheers!

I bought one from eBay a while back the other was from LLL parts, both genuine VW Caddy door seals.

Cuts out a little noise but makes the doors sound so nice when closing!

Touran xenon headlights fitted this morning, straight forward enough. Halfway house for now (manual level adjustment) until I’ve tried them for a bit.

Need to get rid of the moisture with some silica gel sachets to get rid of the moisture, downside of long term storage and fitting them on a cold, wet drizzly day Image

Image

Halfway house : removed the Touran stepper motors and replaced them with the original Caddy headlight height adjustment motors. Holding off on fitting the front and rear level sensors and the control module for automatic levelling until I’ve run them for a bit to make sure I’m happy with them.

Caddy motor installed with the original fittings, you’ve got to love VW for their multi use parts!

Additional wires run from the CECM to headlights to operate the Shutters for main beam, coding ticked and most importantly, no warning light on the instrument cluster and no flickering!

Going to swap out the H7 halogen lamps in a few weeks to try and match the colour temperature to the xenon’s.

Then… automatic levelling and headlight washers!
