Washed my van after having it at DubUnit Tamworth for a service and got the front end raised to save the Triple R Composites front splitter from the snow.
Also had my Edition30 BBSs refurbished, at Absolute Alloys in Tamworth,, in satin grey finish and new Nankang AS2+ tyres.
Today was insurance renewal day too, Brentacre cover coming in well below anyone else.
Heard someone mention Greenlight modified insurance the other day, no idea if they are any good but I will be pricing them up this year when mine is due.

I’ve mentioned them a few times on here. Very happy with the service where £70 cheaper for me than Brentacre. Both companies where cheaper than the quotes for an un modified caddy. Hopefully I never have to find out how the claims process is! Vans looking good on winter wheels Doc.

Bumper is looking great looking forward to it when painted. Do you have any step by step photos on how you cut both bumpers and then join?

Sandyson could u please do me a massive favour, if possible could you measure the the longer set of bolts in the rear axle flip kit, cheers. Someone has measured them for me off here(which I am really grateful ) on another thread but I think they were fitted at the time. Many thanks in advance, Sean.

Hit a deer in the early hours of this morning... Poor deer jumped straight out in front of me.... Could have been so much worse, but has re-styled my bumper, one headlamp... grill, fog lamps, washer bottle and goodness knows what else.. :( Anyone breaking a facelift with rear end damage ?

Finished the final tweaks this morning. But coilovers fitted.

Currently on winter settings. It can go another 25mm lower at the front and 20mm at the back.

Thanks to @RK Designs

Rides really nice which surprise me. Thought it would be stiff and hard. ImageImageImage

If you had chosen for the normal set it would be stiff and hard. V-maxx xxtreme is much better than the standard v-maxx set. I drive on 20” and its still not hard while i use 8 stands back from hard. At the back i use max hard. And mine is as low as the set Goes. If anyone likes a set as Well just contact me.
