Carpeting done!
Haven't driven it extensively yet so not sure if it'll quieten things down but here's hoping it will! The carpet is quite plush with a nice thick underlay.
There's also a nifty pocket on the driver's side wall as that was previously spare space (and another pocket in the rear right hand door)

Update on above, driving is definitely much quieter and more refined!! Am very happy with it.

Put some new wheels on, OEM Audi 5 arm rotors:

gotta lower it ! also you should def change them ****ty seats. best decision i ever made. them stock seats would give me a backache after driving for anything over 30 mins. got myself some mk5 gti seats. they are so comfy.

That is starting to very very spiffy indeed!!
The Audi rims look awesome!

Keep up the good work and also the posts i'd love to see more of what you've got planned! :)

I think due to shape + size of the windows I always find water trickling in after it rains!! (with the windows down that is)

Got a pair of VW weathershields to solve that :)

I don't think they look too bad either, they are slimline and 'tinted'

I had Recaro seats in all my previous cars.
They would not fit in the VW Caddy.
I took the Caddy to Wiltshire in Adelaide and the VW Caddy seats reshaped like my old Recaros.
I have comfortable seats now.
Cost about $ 300.00 in 2007.
