Looks spot on. I’ve got a set on order at the moment. Hoping they don’t take much longer to be made and fitted

Did you fit them yourself or did you have seat surgeons fit them for you?

Hi! As my idea is to use the Caddy as a weekend camper, I've just added a button to open the rear lid from inside: 1 hour work and less than 10 € :)

Here some pictures (they are horribles, sorry...)

Step 1: Connect two wires to the motor (better, to the pin) activated by the handle

Image

Step 2: Pass the wires through the spaces in the body from the botton to top until they are close to the wiper motor

Image

Image

Step 3: Drill an hole in the wiper motor's cover, connect the wires and that's it!

I ordered this armrest from Ebay. It includes only armrest box.

I sent pictures of car seats to Seat Surgeons. I installed the seat covers myself. It was pretty hard but worth it! :)

What do you mean? It’s the original “orange honey” or I don’t know the right name: inside the body it’s less brilliant than outside

Cool 8)
Did the same on my old Campster (Skoda Roomster) - yet to get round to it on the Caddy ...

Looks a lot like the waterproof switch that I used from Maplins

Discovered an oil drip in the drive - caused by a faulty sump plug washer.

Plan to fix it this weekend :mad:

Finally got around to coding my new headlights.

What a difference and I'm absolutely loving it!
