Yeah I've got the armrest bits there too, I just hadn't time this evening to start swapping consoles.

Ideally I'd like to swap the steering wheel for a mk6 or 7 wheel, s3/gti pedals and the door pull triggers swapped out for metal ones instead of the nasty black plastic in the vans.

Thanks to @Darren91 I've got some parking sensors, so possibly after Xmas I might do a complete OPS park assist retrofit with either and rcd 510 or rns 510 (c/w dab and bluetooth)

Just a quick tip, If you're not fussed on the bigger screen and DVD playback, it's a lot handier to go for the RNS315, as you won't need to buy a separate Bluetooth module, just the mic and wiring loom.

Another few little additions this week, had to get an engine cover as the CRD is a very messy looking wee motor.

Also added the porsche oil and coolant caps for a little more difference in the look of it all.

Finally got round to fitting the armrest which I purchased with the rear seat conversion.

There's better shaped 3s for that kind of plate Tom foolery! If you're gonna **** with it, go all the way..

Serious work gone into that, looks like you know your stuff! Get this corrado that's been mentioned sorted out though, I haven't seen a decent one on the road in a long time!

Got the rest of the rear seat conversion and rear footwear carpets done, ignore the sill trims, I need to get ones from a caddy maxi as they fit better (mine previously had the bulk head hence the wide trims).

Some of you may have also noticed that I now have different front seats. Just happened to be in the right place at the right time and spotted a pair of these.

After a bit of looking, they are "supposedly" quite rare, being the fact they are from the Leon fr550. Exact same as the cupra seats but with different fabric and a media-in slot below the drivers seat.

So after adding the touran seat bases they were a direct bolt in fit. Probably going to retrim the whole interior mid year after the other more important things are done like the suspension, wheels and exterior stuff.
