Another Irish caddy.

[ekeamonn]

Well lads i got my caddy over a year ago and have slowly worked away at it since.
The van when i bought it was a standard ex builders van that had the engine completely re built after it blew so mechanically it was perfect. As im only in college money isn't that easy to come by so putting mods into it took time. Firstly i got some second hand passat r36 wheels and fitted those. I got a scrap touran bumper which are like hens teeth to come by. Eventually I got the funds to get the whole van color matched and i fitted some other things like tommyzoom bulkhead covers, wind deflectors and some other small bits like a hid kit. I also got a dent in the passenger wing pulled. Im fairly happy with the finished product. There is a few more things that i will hopefully do in the coming summer such as rear wiper delete, straight pipe front tow hitch cover l, a nice spoiler and maybe lower it. Unfortunately i haven't the cash to go bananas on it but as long as i keep tipping away at it it should turn out nice. I also have two scratches badly repaired by a previous owner that will need to be resprayed. Thanks for reading and let me know what ye think.

It looks wicked.
A bit of colour coding certainly helps

[Mrhhussain]

Looking good, i can't wait to get mine colour coded

[Bl0at3r]

Agreed - these vans look so much better when colour coded
Looking great fella

Thanks lads its definitely a solid investment. Its like walking out to a new van once its done. The one problem with white is you will never have a dirt free van again

[TheGardener.ie]

It looks very sharp with after the colour coding. Nice work

Looks great. I still think white is my favourite colour for a Caddy.

Roughly, how much does the colour coding of bumpers cost?

Looking good! Well spent

Silver really is one of the best choices for getting away with dirt, very forgiving. Spoken as owner of a silver van...

I got side strips, back bumper, front bumper door handles and mirrors done for around 650 euro which was a fairly good deal as they were all as you can imagine from a builders van pretty worn.

That's pretty good. I was thinking maybe double that?

[ekeamonn]

It was pretty good value to be fair only problem is the body shop took its sweet time getting it booked in and once it was in i was waiting more than 2 weeks for it to be completed. If you search for long enough and haggle your way you will usually get a good price.

Definitely, especially if your on country roads and pick up the unavoidable scratch here and there off hedges they're also lovely when polished up.

Great work on the caddy so far mate. It's amazing how much better it looks after colour coding everything...

[jonnyboy]

Nice work. Coming together nicely

[Celticrsmith]

Looks great mate.

I too have sourced a Touran front (not delivered yet) but is the bottom half textured plastic? I'm unsure whether to colour code the bottom or not.
