Re: Mr. P's Raven Blue Caddy
Ok so today I went to a mates work to get these fitted.....
312mm setup from Adam87
So old ones....
No pics of the bigger setup as we wanted to get to watch the rugby...
But some b*stard stole my wheels
Old setup on the ramp...
And well we had trouble getting it not he ramp so lengths of wood were used under the ramp flaps, then we couldn't get the jack underneath even with three of us pushing up so after jacking one side up to get the jack under then jack it up to drop it on blocks lol
And the funny thing is we found out the fronts will go down another quarter inch more.....

Re: Mr. P's Raven Blue Caddy
I was told they were VMaxx but didn't find any other marks on....
I haven't got a garage like that mate, it's my mates work where I get things done occasionally.

But I put the other in for the moment, looking into putting another socket in the back of the van at some point so will use that one

Re: Mr. P's Raven Blue Caddy
Well had a parcel delivered while I've been away....
So Sunday I may cut two in the footwells and been thinking of putting the other two in the rear door so when it opens it lights the floor up?

Re: Mr. P's Raven Blue Caddy
Cheers Roy.
So thought it was a good idea to wash the caddy.....
So quick snow foam, wash, clay, polish and wax....
Results....
Really need to go over with my DA but not got anywhere to do it....
But happy with the results for now
Sunday got me fiddling inside the van. When I put the armrest in I cut a section of the floor out and well decided it needing tidying up.

Re: Mr. P's Raven Blue Caddy
Yeah Adrian it was the autobrite one. I think it's ok, still magifoam but that little extra and colour. Cleans alright. I got the other colours and also the standard magifoam which I use more than the others. The apc fetched a lot of the crap off too before applying the magifoam.

Re: Mr. P's Raven Blue Caddy
Well I had a parcel delivered Friday and well this little gem was in it....
Brand new, never been used....
Well I bought it to fit in the centre console to keep change in. So means I had chance this afternoon to a have a look I made a holder up for it as it's not a tight fit as it's smaller.
So V1 holder in place and ideas for V2 in my head going round already.
Fitted it in......
Oh and picked these up off my brother on Friday while in Cheltenham.....
I've looked at modding them myself and well I'm good at other technical stuff but that is just out my reach I think. So a message has been fired off to Reflex to see what cost would be for them to do mine.

Re: Mr. P's Raven Blue Caddy
Well after having a service done and the cambelt, I was advised that my lower arm bushes will need to be changed soon so with a couple of days off I bit the bullet and ordered some poly bushes. Also ordered the dog bone poly bush as well.
So I had these fitted and I can tell a difference already and I'm liking the way it feels. Need to order the ARB ones for the front and look at the ones for the rear.
While the sump guard was off I decided to freshen it up. Well there was no point going black so I decided to go with this colour....
All fitted back up....

Re: Mr. P's Raven Blue Caddy
Wanted those Bentley details, but haven't found them at a decent price yet on EBay yet. Do you mind saying what you paid for the lighter and cover and where you got them from?
