New Caddy about to land ...

[mark1a]

After around 7 months of dithering and van envy, I've finally pulled the pin, and hopefully, next week, I'll be collecting:

Caddy Maxi Life 150TDI manual 2017
Blackberry
Xenons/LED DRL
Mesh leatherette
Rear parking sensors/reverse camera
Fog lights/cornering lights

First time VW after many BMW cars, but hey, they don't make vans....

Not all of the spec I really wanted, but I'm looking to retrofit the other things I wanted such as MFSW, Discover Media, tints, etc soon. There's some really helpful info on this forum so possibly not difficult. The wait for a factory order with everything would have been impractical and I just needed to commit, so this is best option I think. Can't wait until next week.

Van will be converted to "day van" type spec with bed, internal bike stand, soundproofing, rear AV system, split charging, window tints, curtains, aux heater in the next year or so, plus 19's, 60mm drop and body styling.

Thanks everyone so far for advice & tips while I've been lurking here, but it's starting now... Build thread on its way...
