Re: Maxi life build
I run a set of these on mine. Did you source genuine items or go for the Depo ones like I did?

Re: Maxi life build
Think it depends on the van (and style of rear bumper). My Caddy Cross came with the tinted tail lights, but I think it looks better with the new ones.horace01 wrote:I much prefer these to the new 2016 taillight. I'm actually suprised how many people have jumped on the 2016 taillight band wagon. Each to there own though.

Re: Maxi life build
So I'm getting fed up with how slow my caddy is to warm up, I've changed thermostat for a new genuine one, no difference, so looking at some way to half the air flow to rad and quicken warm up time, so was browsing ebay as you do and came across this
A team heko upper winter grill blank, I gave it a quick once over with the DA as it had fine scratches as it was second hand,
Not the best fitted photos but you get the idea, not the prettiest of things but let's see if it helps

Re: Maxi life build
Probably would look better colour coded. Doesn't look bad though.

Re: Maxi life build
Did u check your thermostat?? No water flows through the radiator until the stat starts to open. So if the stat is working properly the grille blank should make no difference.
The stat should start to open at around 70 to 75 c so plenty hot enough to get warm air inside.
Is your egr mapped out ?? If so is the egr cooler still in place and connected

Re: Maxi life build
Just covered the tailgate door card like you did on page 12 of your build - wanted to know how you managed to use the original fixings as I am having some difficulty!? Thanks and keep up the good work!

They were tight to get back in, but you can get longer ones
