Bugger all today. Swmbo decided that her Leon needed to have a pre winter detail

Stripped back with poor boys 2 then 1, machine polished back to a lovely shine with super resin polish, quick run over with bilt hamber micro fine and treated to 2 coats of bilt hamber double speed wax

And all the time I was doing that the caddy sat there looking very sorry for itself

Ohhhh nice! Do you have part numbers for the glove box install. I have just the open tray. Also where are the vents from? I’m so new to caddy’s so thanks for any help.

The glove box cover is from a place called van x it’s been on order for about 9 months it just screws into the open slot and the vents are Audi s3 with the 3D printed adapters

Took the plunge and ordered VCDS just installing it now. Lots of things planned for the future. Might get some work out of it too

Can't go wrong with it at all!

I've just had to upgrade mine from 3 vin to 10 vin.
Not quite made my money back yet but done a few things for people :D As well as everything for myself!

I’ve made my money back already by not paying others to do the jobs I’ve needed. Not done anything for anyone else yet. Bought the 10vin as it wasn’t as much more than 3vin as it was to upgrade later.

Good point! Forgot about all the times I'd have had to take it somewhere to re-code stuff :P

In hindsight, I should have bought the 10 VIN one initially :oops:
