i have to ask though... whats in the box?
Thanks! Yeah i like the look of most of the modified lowered ones but that isn't for me anymore.
It's a dogcage for my bordercollie, it is a big cage just for giving him enough space for long travels.

Love the look of this van, what ET are the sharan wheels?

And are they the correct centre bore for the caddy?

Wow, it looks amazing with the big AT tyres! I’m glad that’s worked well - I’m also planning to add some large outer diameter tyres. Still researching but will probably go for 215/55 R17.

Very nice jib and lots of ideas I'll be looking to "borrow" once I get my hands on a caddy. Thank you for sharing.

I like the black steel swamper look but with the black bumper and side stripes they get a bit lost. So I think the alloys look good.

If they need a refurb how about gun metal grey. Kinda of a halfway house but keep the premium alloy look.

Brought the wheels away for powdercoating, should be back next week.
The steel wheels with tyres are sold.
Ordered new tyres for the new wheels.
