Thanks Pritchard182 - such a simple mod, but really gives the van that “sportline” look! A mate of mine got them off ebay, so no direct link i’m afraid.

Travelin-lite have a pair on their site https://travelinlite-transporters.co.uk ... ards-style

TPS or your local vw garage would probably be your best bet if you know someone who can get you trade prices?

I just bought a set of gloss black badges (vanstyle if I remember correctly) and sprayed the bases myself! The badges come apart, so really easy job! Couple of coats of primer, then sprayed the silver on and finished off with some lacquer. You can buy coloured inlay stickers to match your van on ebay if you don’t want to spray though! Image

Wow! CLC engine, kilometres, 'dikkies', sounds like a South African... ;)

Turbo lasted that long? I'm impressed. How long did it take you to do those kms?

Picked up my Caddy yesterday after the water tank that was inside was "drained" and removed... I wasn't aware the tank was mostly drained into the passenger rear footwell which then soaked and splashed into the front footwell and soaked the underlay...

Gave me a good excuse to give it a deep clean though!

Replaced one dodgy led in heater controls, wired in the 2 wires on the back for heated seat control while there.
Took passenger door panel off to retrieve the broken window switch. Made up switch for internal tailgate release.
All before 9:30. That’s me done for the day :)

Whats the wiring like for fitment? I'm guessing a Touran loom/switches will work?

Last time I looked at heated seats, it was for a Mk4 Golf and seemed a bit complex without a custom retro-fit loom.
