Well just thought I would share my caddy transformation with you.
I bought the van last year from a local garage and just wanted to make it look a bit bettter and a little bit faster!
This is the van as she came
Then as she was getting her self a few extra BHP, the guys at the garage recommended a stage 2 tune as the van had the vw diesel recall so the egr was deleted and the dpf internals removed and programmed out, she then produced a healthy 154 BHP on the rollers to say I was happy was a understatement! And 6000 miles later and a service she’s still running problem free!
It was then time to head to the body shop for some paint work
Was very happy with all the work had the rear vw badge and wiper removed, added some A5 side skirts, Touran door mouldings and a side rail cover!
Next stop was to get a eibach sportline kit fitted to drop the van 60mm as it was sitting far to high!
Then added some facelift rear lights to tidy up the rear

Very nice, it’s totally changed how it looks.
By any chance are you from Birtley?

Re: My white work van!
Yes mate I’m from Birtley I’m sure I’ve seen ya van after I read your build thread and spotted it at Chester I think!
You seem pretty clued up on the caddy’s so least a know where to come if a get stuck ? Think my interior could do with a bit work next! But been a plasterer it’s very hard to keep clean so not sure how far to go with seats etc! Have to remember it’s just a work van as the wife keeps telling me!

Re: My white work van!
Thought I recognised it. As for being clued up I’m still learning everyday pal.
I started off telling the Mrs I wasn’t doing anything to this one and a couple of years later I’m still spending as I see something and “I need that” kicks in
