And no you can't have Sam Fox sitting on the dash either!

So today I had 4 new Michelin Primacy 4 tyres fitted ready for lowering in a couple of weeks and I swapped the broken sliding door lock module for a new one to cure my auto lock issue. Managed to break the obligatory clip but as far as I can tell it's not a major issue and all seems to be working properly.

Next job is to get 2016 tinted rear lights fitted and coded by Claudiu, coilovers and polybuses fitted by Darkside and then Doc to fit and code my premium 3d cluster.

It never ends...!

I forgot to ask you before Tony, did your front bumper start out as the standard black textured one? If so, the finish looks great!

Yeah its just the standard one piece bumper. I was all for buying the Touran version with seperate grilles but he said he was confident in painting the textured one and had done many times before without issues as he was happy to take on the prep work. His yard had a few T5's and when he personally owned a caddy also i was confident he could pull it off

That’s good to hear mate. I considered having mine colour coded, but then I decided I liked the black.....but it crosses my mind occasionally to get them done

From what I looked at everything in purple is also available in black
I have at the moment to fit front and rear anti roll bar bushes in black for a maxi
Will probably fit super pro front arms c/w adjustable ball joints with rear spring bushes in black should make the maxi super stable

It does make a big difference just waiting on my adjustable topmounts to come they take 8 weeks to be made so need to get the rear damper sorted and the watts linkage kit built.
