Easy to do, patience is key as when it goes wrong you have to sand it off and start again.

Lots of great how to’s on YouTube

Some scrote bashed my drivers wing mirror, the one time I parked on the road. Glass has totally vanished, no sign of any anywhere. Back plate is still in place. Do I need to get the glass with back plate or can I just get a new glass?

Not a lot as it turns out :(
Took the Van in to have the new OZ wheels fitted, and to have the alignment done.
Just rang to ask when I can collect her, and have been told, that I have the wrong spigot rings, the Van is too low to go on their ramps, and I have an illegally spaced number plate, so they've pied me off !! Finish work at midday, so straight there to collect it. :cry:

I rang Wheelbase alloys, and they were good as gold, it looks like they sent out the wrong size spigot rings for my OZ wheels, so new ones on the way, and I will try again next week.

Fitting the wheels is not the issue, it's the reluctance of garages to entertain a lowered vehicle to do alignment. I may even try and venture 'up North' and try to get booked into one of the big boys like Dubunit or Darkside to get it fettled properly by people who understand our Caddy's

Had my van in for a machine polish, cant believe how well its come up, I'm over the moon with it Image it had little scuffs from the previous owner removing the sign writing and some actual scratches too letting it down but here it is looking all shiny like a new van, buzzing is an understatementImageImage

A simple one but an affective one today. I’ve installed a set of roof rails! Looks lots better.

Hey Petrev
Got it on eBay
https://www.ebay.com/itm/223974327907

Took ages to freight to Australia, but if you are in Europe I’m sure it would come within a week or so

Best this I’ve changed on the van so

Absolutely great mod. I did mine with a splice-in parallel kit.
Cheaper, but not as easy as the plug and play version you found.

Edit: Just checked and I would still have to use the splice version as I have a Mk4 with no ASR button.
Must be using a different plug ?! Or something.

This is the Splice version
