Top job @gazza31112 !! Sorry to hear about your troubles with the body shop. Unfortunately you can not always tell the good ones from the bad ones before hand… The caddy looks utterly amazing though!

Got around to fit the freshly painted side rail covers, colour coded door handles and life side wing mirrors. Really nice to finally see the result of the hard work.

I also had the side trim colour coded. But with all this other parts painted on the side, I’m starting to question my decision. Should I have the painted side trim mounted or should I do a lap to the local scrap yard and gather some unpainted ones?

In the local garage at the moment.

Drove absolutely perfectly since I've had it, coil light came on two weeks ago, reset it, drove another 500 miles spot on.

Came back on the other day, can't clear it.
Threw it at the garage, there is rusty like shit in the fuel filter, pressure regulator, fuel rail....

Where does that shit come from!?

Changed out the water pump for the auxiliary heater - so now I have a warm car! :-)

Highline steering wheel retrofit, but I am still waiting for squib and loom.
Is this from Golf 7 steering wheel?
This is the first upgrade I would like to do on my 2018 Caddy so wondering what parts do I need?
Thnx

Today I did a service. Changed oil and filters :)
Will start by taking out shelfs from the truck tomorrow, and from there I will start my OEM+ project.

Yeah !

Don't do it - Having watched a pro doing it a few times, the skill and the tricks are just too much for me, so it is definitely a job for the professionals.
