Fitted some side windows. I just did them on one side as I like being able to see out of this rear quarter. Also, if I ever decide to use it as a day van, these should be a nice additionImage

Finally fitted the front and rear lowering parts. Opted for 60mm eibach springs and b4 bilsteins on the front, b8's and darkside developments low kit on the rear. Drove really nicely, no knocking over humps so far, really happy with the stance now. Sorry not the best of photos.Image

Cheer mate. Wheels are 18's 7.5J et51, tyres are 225 40 18.
I'm very happy especially the darkside centralising flip kit. Wasn't sure how it was going to look until I lowered it on the deck and checked it side on. It's a pretty good fit going by their fitting instructions.

Message me mate. I can probably help with the immobiliser issue depending on your location and few other things.

Sorry mate, I do not have PM status yet!
We are based in Essex, so may be a bit far for you?

Cheers!

Golf R seat ...
Yellow plug - Airbag
My method would be -
Cut off plug from Caddy seat, solder to Golf seat wires.
3 wires
Wire Brown to Brown, 2 other colours same to same if possible, but doesn't matter.
Seat occupancy plug - leave unplugged.
Seatbelt clip plug - leave unplugged.

Made a start on the rear seat conversion. Looks like the previous owner didn't know how to put lids on things properly Image the glue is peeling off easy, the green stuff does not want to come off! ImageImageImage
