Did a test fit with the 255 /45/ 18 tires today no issue with the sliding door. Very tight of course.
Not sure about the TÜV though......
Haven't installed the front coilovers yet.

Picked up these seats to fit in my caddy today.

They sit quite high as they are so may try fitting them onto the original caddy bases.

Definitely alot comfier than the standard seats!

Stripped out the carpets and replaced them with the rubber flooring. Alot better for cleaning as it being a fishing vehicle. Will put the carpets up for sale on this section of the forum soon.Image

Don't look from any other angle

You can see the front edge doesn't quite line up with the hole, but at least the sides line up now (mostly).

Fitted in a LHD dash box (sort of).

I used those exact runners to build a drawer into my caddy.
You my find you struggle to get the rearmost screws through the runner, into your (tray, drawer, bed)..
Hopefully its close enough to tailgate you will have clearance. I had to mount mine onto a false floor, then slide the whole unit into the caddy and bolt to the floor, or I couldn't secure runners at the back...
Got it all in and working, I use threaded inserts to screw runner to tray but these runners are a pita as they don't come apart...Image

Had a touran dash from wife's old car for ages so finally got a dry day to fit it. Also managed to get mk2 touran vents, surround and top pocket yesterday to replace the old and broken bits. Definitely nicer to look at. Needed some modding to refit my stereo setup but all in nowImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

No worries mate, I'll.offer you first dips. The rear carpet however as a load of gunk from someone prior to me owning it spilling something. I'll ping you a pm with photos.

Swapped out the old indicator stalks for some MK7 Golf ones with cruise control on the stalk.
All tested and working as they should.

I’ve no use for it. Haha.
Mines been removed and coded out so it made sense.
The stalks are from a Skoda but same as the MK7 Golf.

Got hold of a rear single touran seat so stripped it down and used the base to make a quick release bike holder...
fits two bike's if I remove the middle seat and move it along
telescopic T bar with thumb screw keeps the wheels secured .Image
