Ah, I'd give you the part number but it's super rare and it'll drive you crazy trying to find one :lol:

I managed to get a bit more of the wrap done today.

Got the van inside.

Polished the sides.

A rare photo of me :)

Nice and glossy, but far from perfect.

Getting stuck in. Terrible pun :lol:

And done for the day.

I'm not sure if I need to add a little more to the sliding door or leave it as it is.
Still the driver's side and barn doors to do. Hopefully I'll have time in the next few weeks.

Cheers guys :)

I hadn't planned to do anything to this, looks wise.
I usually get a car, make it look great, don't want to drive it, buy something else and repeat :lol:

I decided to put a bit more on the sliding door to bulk it out.

I made a start on the driver's side the other day.

And left it here for now.

I'll probably do the barn doors and then what ever is left can fill up more or the sides.

For the wheels, I'm probably going to change the colour to the Speedline Silver on the golf R Pretoria.

Oh, after fitting the new Aux lead - I got a new phone last week... that don't put an Aux socket on phones now, do they?! :lol:

Looking very cool mate 👍

Yeah, I love the seats with the standard interior.
I'm tempted to change just the top of the door cards to match the dash, and leave the rest grey. Could look pretty cool.

I managed to get a photo in the daylight. Really happy with how the camo looks.

Oh cool! I might have a look for a set if they done it with winding windows.
I kinda don't want to go down the electric window route though. I really like how simple the Caddy is.

Nice transformation mate. You’ve done a great job cleaning it up.
