My Toffee Brown Caddy,(Hydrogen cardon Clean)
Just coming up to 10 months of ownership and it steadily getting there. Its never missed a beat and gets great comments everywhere it go's.

As it was when i pick her up 64 plate startline with electric mirrors and windows.

First buy was a set of Bola ZZR 19"
20160719_190000 by Brian Aitken, on Flickr
Bola's fitted and looked great if it was to be a 4x4, so up next was the suspension.

Phone call to Darkside sorted out the suspension, S&T kit by K&W was posted up quick style

A marked improvement once the kit was fitted, but can't go to low as this is going to be my business workhorse..up next was the seating for the van.

A pair of Corsa VXR limited edition Blue Recaro Cs's,, these were picked to match my company logo

Fitted in, using original vxr base's with alloy adaptor plates

Logo & Graphics installed onto the Toffee Brown

Not much done after that due to the winter setting in,sound proofing installed & winter wheels fitted 19" reps
Went thru a bit of wheel madness at this point, The bola ZZr's had to go back for a warranty issue and decided to go down a different route with the replacements, Bola B1's 19" which i hated they where on for a full 10mins before selling them,, to dark for my taste.

IMG_0475 by Brian Aitken, on Flickr
The replacements where Ispiri IRS8 matt bronze 8.5x19" et45 which i picked up for the Bargain price off £375, I think they look great on the Caddy with the toffee Brown paint.

So summer time arriving and time for a bit more work to be carried out, decided to go with the Touran front Bumper instead of a R32 set up, also installed Touran side mouldings, and picked up another bargain set of Ispiri Wheels, 9.5" rears with a 45et,(still have the Bronze Ispiri which I'm keeping)

Re: My Toffee Brown Caddy Work Horse...
Toffee really suits the Caddy (just like it does on the T5).
I'm also thinking of going for the Touran bumper - if I can find one
Keep posting updates
