Beautiful caddy. Love the wheels

bit of small progress today
got the roof bars off and got the triple r splitter on
the splitter for the money is superb, well happy with it. a touch over 100 quid, delivered in a few days from triple r and its a good solid product. its touch fiddly to get on, but two of us managed to get it on without removing the bumper. just had to loose the fixings off underneath so we could get a hand and spanner inside it to nip it up. if you had the van right up high you could do it fairly easily on your own, but up on a small trolley jack it was a two man job
the vans screaming to be dropped a bit now, H&Rs going on next, hopefully find some time in the next week or two to get it done

So!
I thought after some time I’d update my thread. Had the van 18 months now and I’ve been so busy with work I’ve not really had a chance to get much done. So I’ve got my head down this year to get it sorted
The super plus got a bit battered last year, the stretched tyres
I was running killed them. So they went off for a refub. I got it dropped on the H&R deep kit from si over at stillstatic
I’ve left the rear sitting on the bump stops for the time being as I didn’t want the real wheel off centred. Got some relocation plates on the way so that’s the next job
Few pics below:

Looks awesome.
Planning on lowering mine, maybe not quite as much !! What do you think of H&R ?
I have never used that make. My last caddy had an Eibach set up and was still surprisingly comfortable!!

The h&r kit is superb. Worth the money. It drives and feels nearly identical to the stock set up in terms of comfort

They look superb don’t they!
They came complete off a salvage van that was rear ended.
I’ve taken them straight to EM tuning to upgrade the output. Add sequentials and black out the insides. I’m not a fan of the chrome. So gonna have them full stealth

Can’t wait to see them
I’m not a fan of the chrome either and I’m really tempted to open them up myself
