"What did you do Friday night?"

Oh I spent all evening removing the crappy dark grey carpet and retrimming my headliner, overhead shelf and B pillars trims in black suede style fabric, absolutely horrible job but turned out pretty good. Looks 100x better than the carpet I did a few years ago

Nothing hard or too special.. But first “mod” for me on the van today.. Wanted to get rid of the steelies.. So went with OEM wheels that I always had a soft spot for..

Not sure why.. But I just love them, and were the first things I wanted to put on the Caddy since purchasing it..

Did an oil and filter change today, and got very wet in the process! The rain has not stopped here today.

Got my new steering wheel back from the trimmers today.
Standard golf 8 wheel with GTi trim, asked to make it look like a GTi wheel so slightly thicker all round, thicker thumb grips with red stitching and perforated leather sides.
Dropped off my gear gaiter, handbrake cover and armrest off to get the same treatment.
Get the wheel installed on Wednesday

Big thanks to Jack @royal steering wheels did a great job

Now that picture makes me want to hijack the tread and ask a question about that climatic panel.
I see that you can choose a specific temperature on yours, while mine just have the frost bite/death valley (cool/hot) function.
Is it a straight swap if I find one of those panels (for an MK3) or do you need the 2-zone climatic ac?


btw, your steering wheel looks fantastic!
