Jack - thanks bud  :happy2:

Rich - should look a little less friendly

dansmith180 - really looking forward to quattro, then tte420 and a niki map should finish it off nicely

usmangti - will just look like 2011 touran at the front, no mods just a bit more upto date

Paradox - the 90mm revo bud

Ricki -  :grin: :grin:

Dwarfus - thanks bud

dom069 - glad you're enjoying the build

Scott_GT_TDI - i think you're right, there is something wrong with me  :signLOL:

Most of my ikea exhaust has arrived



I've decided to run the milltek tails from the mk5 gti system so gave them a clean



Also the painter didn't come ladt night to collect touran so he asked me to remove the bits i'm replacing





So bits being replaced / painted are:

Front end complete
Repair passenger door ding
Side skirts (votex)
Door handles colour code (replacements)
Rubstrips colour code (new)
Repair ding on rear arch
Rear bumper (non pdc - replacement)
Rear valance (votex)

Great work Olly - it's going to look fresh after those bits of bodywork.
VW pricing is amazing - so much money for just a few bits that'll never be seen, but at least you know it has been built right!

So had word from painter body was done, he dropped it back last night around 6 and i set to it, was too busy to take many pics

So first on was rear bumper (without pdc sensors) and votex valance



Then fuel flap, door handles and votex side skirt (he'd already fitted new rubstrips)



The front turned out to be more involved than first expected, the wings didn't sit even close to original upper mounting points and the brackets were not available seperately so had to make up a pair of these





I also welded the new ends on and welded the rear headlight brackets on, bought some bulbs - although i was advised they were all h7 two of them are actually h15 but fitted what i had



Spent a little time jiggling the front around and roughly bolted it up



I also bought 4 new door rubbers but the rear ones look like someone had been using them for a sword fight so 2 more on order



Hoping to get the bumper back over the weekend along with the bonnet lifter ( i lost ) bonnet cable (different apparently) and h15 bulbs and a few other odds and ends
