The Swedish black sheep
Hi
I just bought this Caddy 3 weeks ago. Since then I have driven it 2000 miles.
It is a 2011, 1.6 tdi (75 bhp) fairly well equipped with electric windows, AC, Webasto heater with remote and roof rails.
The day I got it:
First order of business - removing all the dents (3 previos lady drivers using the car for delivering office chairs
Here is the dent dude in action.

Re: The Swedish black sheep
I managed to get all the old striping off.
Also mounted rear mudguards which I found at the local scrapyard for GBP 2 each.
Next order of business was to remove the rear wiper.
A bit fiddly but finally managed to get the motor out.
Ordered the cover from Ebay in gloss black.

Re: The Swedish black sheep
Spent the weekend changing the chassi. New H+R front springs and the usual rear lowering kit.
Decided not to go too low. Still want to be able to use it as an everyday car.
Some old parts:
Also decided to chage the wheels.
Out with the old
The result !
Just love those Passat CC 18" wheels.

Re: The Swedish black sheep
I took the car to Coro tuning in Gothenburg, Sweden a few days ago.
It was time for a remap
The result!
It took bout 4 hours and roughly £300
I am very pleased with the result!
