Were these the clips? Thinking I may order a small packet for when I do break some!

They don't look familiar for the rear - they were metal and more springy I think.

These perhaps?

That rings a bell, but on the basis of the fact that you might not break/lose any, replacements are available from stock online within a day or two, just remove the panels and see how you get on. It’s not like the van won’t start if you make a mistake give it a go... I would say some decent plastic trim tools are more important.

I have some trim tools, mine is a WAV I use for work so needs to go back together the same day.

Hi , are these holes
Not for drain water to run away ? I agree they don’t look great but was worried to fill them

The original eBay seller appears to no longer have them, just look for 30mm rubber or plastic bungs / pipe ends.

Hi, I’ve been looking for a CF VW badge like this , where did you find this please ?

Badge removal again easy job with hairdryer and isopropyl alcohol.

No, I don’t think so, the grooves are there still. I think it’s because the tooling on the mould is the same for RHD & LHD and VAG can save €0.10 per unit on not filling them. Same with the engine cover to a greater extent I think. I had an E36 M3 back in the day with full toolkit and rechargeable torch in the glove compartment. When I changed for the E46 model in early 00’s the toolkit comprised of a wheel wrench & screwdriver and the torch was a £12 option. Accountants eh?

Ref the badge, it was an eBay special (non OEM), the listing has gone now but somebody else asked later in the thread and I think it’s the same diameter as the T5 so have a look on eBay for similar.

@mark1a
Fair enough , thank you for the quick responses. P.S was the engine cover purely for aesthetics or does it deaden the sound ? Thanks

Can’t really in honesty say whether it affected the sound or not, it was purely aesthetic for me. Also a cheap upgrade if you can get the right one used, mine came from a mk7 Golf at an eBay breaker, the bolts & O ring from TPS. Just check the engine code number as they differ, plus also there’s many threads on here regarding buying a Skoda or Seat one and picking off the badge to reveal the VW one. Again, an accountant at VAG decided that the Caddy didn’t need one and saved some money.

Looks really good

@Kieran352 thanks

Side skirts arrived today from RK Designs, all good so far.

Booked into local body shop 15th March for paint & fitting.

Hi mate , any chance I could chat to you about these skirts ? Cheers
