Here's my grey Maxi Life

Post by Tepid »

Here's my 2013 Caddy Maxi Life, 1.6 DSG, wheels are 17" vw alloys off a Passat, brand new, straight off a new car that had done 3 miles, at an absolute bargain price, (as no one else bid on them, dealer was going to keep them, after the owner upgraded to 18", until the owner pointed out, that he actually owned the originals, having paid for the upgrade). Still after some VW 17" Budapest alloys though :D

Mfsw with paddle shift, W8 down lights, cross caddy silver and black air vents (if I can get them for a sensible price) and I may get a pendle map.
Sits high due to being empty, I don't run with any of the rear seats, the back has a metal bike rack to carry bikes. I also need the ground clearance for off-road up tracks and fields.

Looks great that, you've made my mind up about colour going to order my new one tomorrow natural grey.

How much is the grill?

Paid £114.67 for the grille. (10% discount)
What wheels are you ordering? You couldn't order the 17" Budapest, could yah :D as I'm after a set of them ;), I like your spec, it's pretty much what I'd like if I ordered new. Mine was a dealer specced maxi, so not ideal, but was a very good price with zero mileage on the clock. I've just got an engine cover off fleebay and bought the the two mounting balls from the dealer, £41.64 :D dealer price new was £119.

I'm going to fit blades like I have now but go up to 19"
Those 17" wheels from vw are nearly a grand what a rip off

If you did decide to order the Vw 17" wheels, I'd definitely like to buy them from you, seriously. What dealer are you buying from? I think those 19" on a grey Maxi with xenon will looks awesome, what discount do you think you'll get? I'm down your neck of the woods tomorrow, if the weather isn't too bad, got to go to st Austell, then back home in the evening, if you wanted to see my caddy I could meet you in the motorway services near Weston.

Looks the part, bud. My 2012 Maxi Life has different headlights to yours, are they Touran ones you've put on?

I don't think I'll be able to meet up, I've only just left home to go to St Austell, so it will be way late, before I pass you on the way home tonight. Sorry.

Ok mate, where's home?

If you want to do something about these wheels need to be quick I was going to order today but held off, times ticking because of the 12 week build time and Xmas shutdown.
