Cheers bud, it's you'll need to push the pins out of the vans wiring plug and replace them in a different order, loads of threads on here to help, only downside is most of us are left with a bulb warning on the dash! Worth it though! Lol

And got myself a pair of bulkhead covers from Tommyzoom, fair play to him for sorting these for everyone they are good quality!

Should hopefully be able to hear myself think now! lol

These were made by a guy on here but he's no longer producing them unfortunately! Not much to them so could easily be made yourself

Looking good mate. Love the concave rims ;) - I too would like a BC front coilover and Gaz rear set up like yours, were you able to just get the fronts from BC? or did you have to buy the whole kit?

Cheers bud! My mate fortunately decided to upgrade to air ride after 6 months so got the full set at a good price then sold the rears! Lol

I just rang them up, spoke to a guy called James (i think). There aren't any caddy specific fronts so ordered Golf MK5/6 55mm Fronts struts :)

So Iv recently been losing the love for the 19s due to the poor ride and decided to sell them on!
Over the weekend I decided to give my 16” steels a lick of paint!

Loving the colour of the steelies subtle but effective, good job. Did you use just rattle cans? What colour is the top coat?

I'm going to be putting my steelies back on for winter so this may a nice little project to do.
