Did you weld on the small studs that the clips are fastened in?

I just got my kit and the clips are a very loose fit on the blades. I can slide them through the attachment points on the blade. Was it the same for you? I went back to the dealer and pointed this out but they said there's no other clips?

No m8...just used very small screws and drilled the cill to attach the clips...but yes I had the same issue...I thought it was the wrong clips but they are perfect when fitted....just dont overtighten the screws as the clip doesn't work properly if you do👍

@AdoleFiddler Well... if you want to do it nice, you have to take your time and not rush. There are some more pictures in my build thread. Took me 3 weekends to do all this carpeting. All these corners and curves are quite tricky. It you have ply lined sides it will be much easier.

As far as I can remember, old seats off bases and new seats in. Changed over seat belt buckles as Audi one was short.

Thought I'd take some advice and make some covers out of the bulkhead I took out. Think they'll look decent once they're carpeted. ImageImageImageImageImage

Yea think they are pretty neat m8... on the s5 they don't actually go all the way along the cill...slightly short on both ends so that might have a similar look on a maxi?... get a measure of what you have vs the blade lengths to give you an idea Image

Had some mk4 lights and touran front carpets supplied and fitted at van lab custom conversions in lichfield

Absolutely class service

Only managed to take pictures in the dark which makes the carpet looks tatty but there not. Really happen with the work that was done.

Just need them coding in now.
