Nah mate, its hard because you've gotta be careful about offsets and also i don't wanna be a copycat on other peoples Caddy's on here and get the same set as someone else..........

Unless i got some the same as someone else on here but changed the colour of them or something..........

Yeah fitted the filter dude, a VERY slight noticable increase in low down torque if im honest.

Hey :D

Been to see Mike at Motech today and he's done me very proud with a cheeky remap for the Caddy :D

Changed the van from a standard 104bhp to circa 140bhp and what a difference!!!

The Caddy felt pretty flat before but now its effortless to accelerate...

The map kept feeling stronger and stronger the further i drove home and the DSG still operates as seamlessly as it did before when it was lower powered. But now its a lively little thing :lol:

Very chuffed Mike if your reading, and i'll definitly be back 8)

Jon.

Keepin this alive with a mini update....

Got my tracking sorted & some part worn tyres on the front which were eaten from poope toe! :lol:

Also i took the silver vinyl wrap off my rear window as its been buggin me and took the Caddy down to have some limo rear tints from Terry @ South Woodham :D

£40 later a much nicer looking rear end than before.............

Should also be picking up some Touran door mouldings in the next few days as i prefer the shape of them to my colour coded Caddy ones....

Did someone say wheels too?? :shock:
