Re: Covid caddy project
I'm very happy with the brakes, I'd love a dual rear set up but.

Re: Covid caddy project
I have that setup on my golf
It has it benefits. Keep the brake bias the same between front and rear as the calipers match up per what factory designed it, looks cool too of course. I could never afford swap out the stock calipers for brembo r8 handbrake calipers. That would be needed to correctly finish the install.
18z on the front and their matching cayenne 4 pots on the rear.
They look small behind 19" wheels, but significant behind 18".
I'm unhappy with the recent zinc plating I did rebuilding the stock calipers on my caddy and while id happily throw big brakes on the caddy too. I'm resisting the urge as I enjoy the flexibility of wheel fitment the stock brakes offer

Re: Covid caddy project
What's STM harness's for ?
Is that a brand new or new to you (2nd hand / wrecker) bumper ?
Did u already have the lights or did they come complete with the grills
It's going to be on the road n turning more heads very shortly
Kudos to all your work

Re: Covid caddy project
Extensive list of items from Stan. Pretty much anything and everything I can do to the van.
That's the same bumper as I've been running since the mk4 front conversion. I simply fitted the grills that suit the fog lights as well as the fog lights.
It'll be multi coloured for a while longer, but I'm hoping to have it back together before months end and hopefully the interior finished by the end of the year.

Re: Covid caddy project
That's a nice set up, very tidy.

Re: Covid caddy project
Evening all,
Waiting for Stan's wiring wizardly to arrive now. Shouldn't be too much longer.
Adding a good 5kg in wiring I reckon.
While I wait I'm doing silly things.
Decided the heat shields under the car needed attention
And before you ask, yes I did the side you don't see too.
Hopefully do the tunnel one, and wash the underside of the van while it's all removed soon too.
