1 week in.... mods so far
Hi all, so I picked it up last weekend looking like this
Got to work straight away and stripped out
Sound matted, sides floor and roof. God that was a boring job!
Then insulated.
Then I moved onto carpeting.
Next was LED Drl’s and head lights
Also added rubber floor mat, racking and some secure tool storage
Led strip lighting for the roof and made a wireless charging mat for the slot bellow the head unit
Final addition are some new wheels
And that takes me upto this weekend, quite please with what I’ve got done last week
Let me know your thoughts and ideas. I’ve got more ideas in the pipeline

Re: 1 week in.... mods so far
Thanks Gjseb
I got a std wireless chargers from amazon like this
And then just took it apart and mounted the internals to the underside of the tray under the head unit.
Once id made that part I just got the power via a 12v USB adapter like this and connected under the tray as there is a large void.

Thanks skully, ye I tried a few different styles but kept coming back to these. I think they suit the silver really well.

Re: 1 week in.... mods so far
love your attention to detail on the load area, it looks better than the boot of some cars.

Re: 1 week in.... mods so far
Did you notice a difference to road noise etc after the insulation or was it more just to keep heat in?
Cheers

Re: 1 week in.... mods so far
Hi Shane, I’m hoping it gives the benefit of keeping the warmth in in the winter and help keep it cooler in the summer but predominantly for noice reduction.
I can’t comment purely on the insulation as I did the dodo matting and the insulation at the same time but can say the pair together made a brilliant improvement to the road noice and drumming noice that come from the rear. Very quiet after.

Re: 1 week in.... mods so far
Looking good mate. Have you powered the new led roof lights from the original centre light, or run a separate supply?

Re: 1 week in.... mods so far
Sweet cheers for that. Mine has been ply lined but don't think there is anything behind it so looking to put some sound deadening and insulation behind the ply wood.c_j wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 7:12 pm Hi Shane, I’m hoping it gives the benefit of keeping the warmth in in the winter and help keep it cooler in the summer but predominantly for noice reduction.

Hi,
Looking good
Are the new headlights the std. Caddy Xenon units with LEDs ?
Have you got some more details on what you had to do fitting and parts/coding wise ...
Cheers,
Pete

Hi petrev
Yes it’s the standard head light units
I just ordered a set of h4 led’s that are can-bus compatible.
They go in just like replacing a bulb with no codeing necessary
