Thanks everyone for the comments
A passing bird didn't like the caddy looking so clean so this morning shat on it. Thanks bird!
I'm planning a 2011 touran front end conversion when funding permits!
And I've got the calipers to paint again. Not too fond of the halfords orange. Not that I bought it from halfords that was given the name by my bro!

Re: Thom's 2008 Caddy 2K Build Thread
The audi ones were 19 inch 235/35/19
Due to the arches size I think 19 suit the caddy more but tyres are expensive I think. I've got the 18 inch merc wheels on now but I think it needs lowering and they're 225/40/18..

i want to get a 2011 on tiguan front end, including mirrors but its the cost at the min. the caddy mirrors are doing my head in at the min due to their size and my inability to see traffic on a roundabout!
so i think they could be step 1!
the brakes have started squeaking, which i HATE with a vengeance! so we swapped the pads over but now there is a howl and sometimes a squeak! going to swap back over before i decide to buy some new discs and pads. discs are around £70 and pads about £40-50 for the ones i want. (GTI discs and pads) so i dont want to have to buy them but i will if it stops the effing squeaking!
the coilovers were cleaned by my bro whilst we were messing with the brakes and he lowered it by 5mm which looks better, and i might lower the back too.

Have you mounted a axle-relocation on your V-Maxx-kit? Mine didn't center the wheels.
