The small interior details make a difference. Nicely done! :happy2:

What turbo are you going to fit? :drool:

shoduchi - the dash from 2003 - 2014 is basically the same but with little tweaks as above so makes it easier to update it a little.

sending my spare k04 off to have the TTE 420 treatment hopefully it's ok or i'll have to send the one off the car to them.

Aleksaa - thank you, i had the gti seats from the golf but i didn't want a mismatched interior hence opting for the touran sport seats.  :smiley:

Dazza - thanks bud, hopefully it's moving in the right direction

Al - thanks, certainly sets it apart from the other tourans

Jay - touran leathers are rare and not forum rare or ebay rare actually rare haha, 7 seat leather even rarererer. And tbh i've had lots of leather interiors and have to say i much prefer half leathers which don't exist either, so only option would be replace front seats with gti etc and retrim the lot but i've been there too and not keen on going back down that road  :signLOL:

Had a little road trip earlier, first was to collect my facelift front panel, then onto hatfield to collect the front bumper, also managed to hand a new s3 it's arse several times on the way home  :grin:

Few more parts arrived today

3.5" flexi





Wing bracket



Left and right inner wing sections



But i only need the ends



Also got a turbo flange but it's 3" not 3.5"  :sad1:

Minor update today, after being outbid on 2 sets of r32 / s3 brakes and being messed about on another set i'd had enough so widened my search and couple of sets of ttrs set ups came up

so messaged a couple of sellers, one was a messer but one was a straight up guy, struck a deal and went and collected them

320 vs 370



Test fit behind the helios
