Good progress and glad to see your back on the road and ploughing ahead with mods.

BTW I meant to mention ages ago, I'm from just south of Edinburgh so probably nearby now and then. Did you used to have a unit at Broxburn or Newbridge?

Random Q's I know, sorry.  :laugh:

I stay in brox, units in linlithgow. I had been tempted by some of the wheels you had for sale.

Got some eibach sportlines on there way so hopefully get them fitted next week :party:

Cant afford coilovers so opted for these instead- Eibach Sportline Kit with rear KW shackle/flip axle kit meant to be good for 45mm drop but I have opted for some mk5 dampers up front which are meant to be shorter than the caddys so may see some extra drop

Looking forward to the lowered pics. Interested to see how the rears work. Do you mind taking some detailed pictures of them installed.  :happy2:

Liking your progress. Any wheels picked for it yet? Or do you have any in mind? 17's, 18's? With a silver car van, you can virtually have any colour of wheels.

I sold my Mk5 GTI Interlagos front seats to a guy with a grey Caddy - He was very pleased with them and they looked strangely OEM. I got some pics somewhere.

I had a set of GTI seats and wished I had kept them but sold them to a guy on here. Fitted the front eibach springs with FK mk5 golf front shocks at the weekend and while its not coilover low it looks good, going to do the rear on saturday and fit my new knob :laugh:. Front end is much better now no loss in comfort feels tighter and not as much bopping about. Pics to follow

Will check the door cards as  someone bought some of the old trim so  not sure if they were swapped.

No worries on the door cards if not available. Pics of yours lowered needed asap what size wheels are you running, only ask because I have fitted 16 x 7s on my 2k and wonder if could get mine nose down with springs only 8)

Here's a pic of the arch before and after, Eibach say 45mm drop so I have slightly more this maybe due to the mkv shocks instead of putting on caddy ones. Rear still isnt done :ashamed:. Trying to get alloys so i can get the gti front brake setup on as well and also to get the winter tyres off( one which the insurance co's garage fitted the wrong way :fighting:) I pay my insurance monthly and thinking of cancelling as the farkups I keep finding are really bad.

And some interior bling, knob swap, very very easy to do.
