Last year I changed career and went self employed as a Traditional Signwriter. I absolutely love it and this part's super exciting for me. Since going full time I've been making do between my t5 camper and my a3 as work vehicles, neither of them ideal. Always felt aweful throwing kit/paint ladders in the camper and cars are rubbish for loading loads of kit in and out of every day.
Always wanted a caddy maxi and after quite while looking I finally bought an ex BG 2.0tdi. I wanted it to be quite tidy as I'll be hand painting some stuff on this in the near future. Got lots planned and already (without full access) this forum's been really helpful.
Being one of the newer ones it has one of those annoying side vents, which'll have to go at somepoint. If anyone's selling a tidy door hmu!

I have a hip disorder (which is a bit shit ngl) and i need to fit Cruise so i can move my legs about on long journeys. Want to fit an mfsw with cc buttons on the wheel.
Welcome to the forum mate, I’m an ex BG owner too. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do with the signage on your van. You’re a dab hand with a paintbrush by the looks of it!
I only started sketching ideas at the mo (cant rush it!) and I want to do something different one each side & the rear. Cant wait till the day i paint it!
They look perfect almost brand new I've been looking for a set of seats but their either way to expensive or totally shot at with rips or worn-out leather
Beluga blue caddy remapped to 145ish side window and bonnet deflector lowered and 18" calibre rims on 225/40/18
Aye there are some dreamers out there overpricing, there are good seats out there to be had still. Picked these up off ebay. Find someone with a full set and make them an offer for just the fronts. There's a set of full electric rs5 seats (in white...probably would have died them) i was tempted by on for quite cheap at the mo
Thank you bud! Really not been at it long either in honesty, feel really fortunate that I've found it and excited for my new workhorse! Cannot wait to paint that
Put a paintbrush on my van for the 1st time (not in the way I'd planned lol).
Pulled the nasty wheel trims off and the steels were tatty so slapped hammerite on them to make them look marginally less sh*t. Wont have money for wheels for a while, lots of big spends at the mo.
Currently finding this forum addictive af, I'm assuming everyone else obsesses on what you can do to your van?
cant wait to get them in the van.
