Re: Nath‘s Reflex Silver 1.6TDI Match
I picked my van up from https://www.trademotorgroup.co.uk yesterday after dropping it off for a rear seat conversion.
Can't recommend Anton and his team enough, I'm please with how its turned out and I can now use the van what I intended it for.
While I was there Anton was keen to show off his business and gave me a behind the scenes tour to show me what they can do. He even showed me his own van he is building which currently sits on 20" Rotiform DTMs, air ride and when finished a wicked interior He's obviously very proud of his business and so he should be.
Spoke to Anton about my future plans so maybe going back over again soon
Anyway here are a few pictures of the retrofitted seats, just need to find some touran front carpets to match the rears and get some mats. Then find some suitable fronts and get the lot retrimmed, think I've got my colour scheme sorted Sound deadening to complete and then can carpet the rear. The issue I'm having is steering wheel, I loved my AW Polo GTI wheel but its finding one for sensible money and an airbag to go with it as most people are selling for strong money without. The other option is a Mk8 Golf R wheel, but not sure I'm bothered as I'm not keen on the Haptic buttons as have them in the ID3. Anyway onwards and upwards
Already made use of having removable seats today as managed to move some equipment for my wife's new business and we took the boy with us as well. Admittedly this was taken after we'd taken the equipment

Love it!
I wouldn’t touch the exterior. Clean TSI conversion and it’d be perfect for me.

Cheers mate
Steve the guy from TMG who did it reused the ply from the floor for the rear area and then carpeted it. Not sure if this is part of the normal job but did it anyway. Again TMG vans were spot on from start to finish

Ah okay that makes more sense, really does clean the back of the van up, just 4 way stretch?

Re: Nath‘s Reflex Silver 1.6TDI Match
I dropped my van off at Darkside developments on Thursday evening for full service and their basic tune
Unbeknown to me the van already had a tune on, tbh I thought it was the standard. Darkside did their magic and it now seems to drive a lot smoother just setting off and its certainly nipper
When I came to pick it back up yesterday I went to SRS Automotive and got a load of Touran interior bits Looks like more fun to come

Re: Nath‘s Reflex Silver 1.6TDI Match
Been waiting a while for the second mk4 light to turn up as I want symmetry on the back like @lister79 Plus I managed to mess the order up first time as I received a tailgate LH unit
Following the excellent how to guide by @Doc I set about changing over my rear lights
Before
During, cleaned things up while I had the lights out. Also painted the bolts that no-one will ever see but they were a little rusty and it made me feel good
[/img]https://i.postimg.cc/BvYXGnDS/IMG-3501.jpg[/img]
Although it did not say it in any of the how to guides I had read, I would recommend removing the door cards on the barn doors. This allows removal of the wiring loom rubber which in turn give just a little bit more room to refit the black covers. Who ever design it in this manner at VW wants a good talking to, it certainly made what should have been a simple job a pain initially!!
After
Another job ticked off the list

Re: Nath‘s Reflex Silver 1.6TDI Match
After looking through @Giddy's thread I bought myself a Dodo Mat DEADN Hex 50 sheet box and some Dodo Super Liner.
So the boss gave me a hand this afternoon and we stripped the front of seats, centre console and the rubber floor. We then made a start with installing some Dodo sound deadening, however rain stopped play so when it clears up we continue
