Alright guys,,
Iv been a member on here for a while now and thought i may aswell start a little build thread. Funds aint unlimited so progress may be slow but its the small things i can do myself that i enjoy doing. Hope you enjoy
Sooo before my caddy i had a VW golf 1.4 tsi 160 which i had mapped to 188bhp..i loved it it had every extra you could think of (bit different in the caddy now
) few pics for you—
The reason for the change is i having the motocross bike and pulling a trailer around just wasnt for me ..
I picked up the ex bg at 95000 and in pretty decent condition. It was used but i was happy with it..
First day on the drive..
That night the racking came out...
Bike fit great and i was able to salvage the already connected LED strips which i have now attached to the roof and they work brilliantly
(A little pic for the mx’ers out there)You can see the strips being used in the background ...
Started wrapping the interior.
It wasnt great and has since been removed whilst on a long boring drive i had a another go recently with some vinyl i was given which i think looks better but will probs do it again to try and get it perfect 
Swapped the front and rear badges to matte black and changed the DRL bulbs and headlight bulbs to try and get away from the yellow look ..
The latest thing is i had a set of 18’s delivered today from LK after a good mate and new fellow caddy owner put some on his and I thought they looked the dogs. Got home picked the wheels up and was straight round to jacks house (Caddy0802) and he helped me get them on. I know it needs lowering because it is riding so high but that is something on the to do list..pics aint great because it got dark so fast..
He has a very nice coded maxi which you find his thread on here somewhere
Meeting up with him again tomorrow for a wash, vinyl and tinkering day so will have better pics from that... thats it for now really. Will try to update when i can
Much love
