I ended up bonding the lights to the back of the door card with some tiger seal, had to sand down the back of the light housing and the back of the door card where the housing touches so it all fits snug. In order for it face of the door light to sit flush with the face of the door card I had to recesses it at the bottom slightly.

Why you do not have the original underspoiler of the golf gti bumper mounted? Just curious as it gives the bumper more strength as well besides the two black sides under the bumper.

Hi Ronnie,

I don't have that particular underspoiler. I do have the OEM GTI TCR underspoiler which also has front spoilers 8)

Well FishermansFriend I blitzed through your thread last night following a comment somewhere to say look at yours for part numbers :D

What a wicked Caddy, coming from humble beginnings and having multiple retrofits to make it one many top Caddy on this forum 8)

There are certainly a few mods I will be reviewing your thread for :D

Was thinking of doing the all track bumper without the skirts until I could afford it, but wasn't sure how it would look. But now I've seen your thread if it wasn't for the lack of the bits I'd do it tomorrow!!

Thank you for your inspiration :D

This is the VW front bumper spoiler for the GTI TCR, it consists of the under tray and 6 other attachment pieces that all clip together. Comes in a gloss black finish.

Out of interest from what in the VW line up did this CAN gateway come from? Where about did you do you research on CAN gateways? Can’t say I’ve noticed it on this brilliant forum :)

It was installed in various PQ cars like Passat, Tiguan, Jetta, Golf. Looking at parts diagrams to see what modules are on the car and looking at the PR codes will tell you what the module is capable of.

Thank you Bulldog. I got them from BrakesKing who are based in Barcelona. They are a pain to deal with TBH, messages and calls ignored, no updates. Told me my rear set up would take 15 days but took me over 3 months to get.
