Took out the blue privacy panels, painted the outwardly facing side matt black and popped them back in.

Have included a pic of the fixing for those interested.

It's all individual bits, there are some small kits if you look up mk5 golf instead of caddy

Been messing about with door cards. Its always bugged me that the passenger door gets a grab handle and doesn't match the drivers door, so I took a LHD door card and handle, modified the panel for a single window switch by bonding in the holder for the single switch and then filling and smoothing, and then modified the handle aperture to take the handle from the RHD door card (I wasn't too concerned with how it looked as its going to get covered in the future in alcantara and the handles in carbon).

Then simply fitted the corresponding door card for the drivers side. These are Caddy ones so they fitted with no trimming.

I suppose it would be just as easy to fit the handle and door pull from the LHD one and just have both window switches and the mirror controls on both doors but I decided to go custom.
