It's just arrived. Only two days late! It's a minter. And bare in mind I run a detailing company, that's saying a lot. The van is absolutely perfect - not a swirl in sight. It's not the one I had originally gone for (second one) but although slightly older, this one is in much better nick.

56 06
1.9tdi
39k
Will tomorrow have Audi RS6 19" wheels fitted
And guy doing the wheels is sorting me out the chrome runners for the side too.

I have a funny feeling this van has been chipped already because I had a B7 Passat 2.0tdi and this thing is as fast, if not faster! I don't know if they are completely different engines, but I got a bit of a shock when I put my foot down!

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

When its empty the caddy can put it to the best of them!!! the engine is quite vicious in its delivery of the torque!
Glad you got a fitting van for your company fella, cant wait to see the pics.
Not goin to waste any time gettin it sorted either, eh.

Lookin good mate,
Nice and clean, that the way you got it of have you worked your Magic on it already.
I'll tell you, those sides take some elbow grease to do anything with.
Wheels look spot on too, The arches look like they'd be fit to swallow 21", there is so much room! :D

Believe it or not, that's how it was when it arrived! Not a swirl in site. I am going to fully detail it though - just an enhancement.

The wheels are the absolute max the caddy can take. The guys who put them on for me said that because of the size of the hub on the caddy's, you're pushing it to the limit with 19's. The golf hub is much thicker, so can take shims to space it out a bit, but the caddy you'd be pushed to get 3mm on there. Same chaps have sorted me some coilovers for less than £200 though. Proper good quality ones too.

To be honest, I'm not that au fait with this kinda thing! He said the kit would make use of the existing shocks?

Hmmm, never heard of that one. Keep me informed.
How about the locking wheel nuts and nut covers, you get them?
It was you who asked me about them recently, wasnt it?

Yes, got the whole lot for £30 from the place who fitted the tyres. They built them up for me.
