Thank you everyone!

Where did the wheel arch kit come from? Looks like it also covers the lower side panels, is that correct or am I seeing things?
Thank you!
This one comes from KM-parts in Finland but TransporterHQ in Ireland sells them too.
Yes, that is right. Only the sills are painted.

Great, thanks for the lead. I see they have them for the Mk3 too, which is what I have so that's great.

I've been unsure as to what aesthetic to go down with mine when I start modifying it. I love a lowered van with nice wheels, but I live in a rural area, up a mountain, where the roads have built-in massage function. So I'm very much leaning toward AT tyres with a mountain edition look like your Caddy :D

My my those black sills and lower panels look surprisingly good! Tbh I would've hesitated to go with it but loving that end result! I really stands from the crowd of body colour bumpers and such.

Picked up some POLO GTI seats out of a car with only 2500kms. Now just figgering out the wiring as one of the seats connectors are cut off. But shouldn't be a big deal.

Finally found a caddy Life dashboard trim for a great price. It is a red one but will wrap it anyway.

Fitted a carpet in the back. Keeping it clean will be the hardest part. :mrgreen:

Ordered a Tartan Gear and handbrake gaitor. Will be in soon.

The plan is carpetlining the sides in spring.

How did you wrap the alcantara, was it a tough process? It looks very precise, loving it and would like to give it a try myself.

Ive yet to properly start on my caddy (only had it a few weeks) but I’m in two minds about going more lowered/big wheels or swamper but seeing yours looks brilliant! Love the arches and side trims.
