Yeah, rear shocks came with the kit, and they are done also.

Few more not so fun bits and bobs..

Both of the coolant temperature sensors are done, and the thermostat is replaced.

Coolant flushed and fresh coolant put in! (No pictures as was pretty much dark by then)

Didn't get any drop links with my suspension and when I removed mine I realised they had loads of play in them and after taking advantage of gsfs discount, it was around 20 quid ish for 2 new ones.

Looks great what you have done, what about getting a side rail cover? Just to finish it off and give you that smooth clean look

Hi mate, thanks a lot.

I will be getting it soon. A couple of exterior upgrades to go first as the covers are an easy fix.

Another day, another part/parts Image

So, I picked up some touran lights/front bumper and doorcards yesterday.

Lights I've cleaned. Polished and sealed ready to be put on with the bumper once I've painted it.

And just fancied putting a pic of my dirty caddy on here...

The stance is looking perfect, I love how they look when they are lowered, what other plans do you have for the exterior?

Bit of more progress.... suede?

I saw some people doing this and thought it looked relatively easy... well its not as easy as it seems Image and then I thought it would be a good idea to also suede where the window switch goes and I've never thought I'd made a bigger mistake in my life.

One side down, one to go ImageImageImageImageImage

The Drivers' side is complete, just waiting on the double switch cover, and they're going straight in.

I'm really happy with the drivers side, I wouldn't wanna be doing that again, though Image

So another big day.

The 2 switch panel for the drivers card came today, so these door cards can be fitted when I get a minute.

My wheels have finally been painted in a porsche platinum silver, which I haven't gotten a decent photo of the van yet as it was getting dark when I picked it up.

On the bad note, I had 3 buckled wheels that needed straightening, and one cracked, but it's all sorted, and it looks spot on, more photos to come!ImageImageImage
