this is going to be a really boring thread without the ability to add photos but ill make a start and back fill when i know how lol
so im from south wales previously owned a mk5 gti and still own a t4, this caddy hopefully will be my next long project
im starting with a 2013 1.6 maxi with poverty spec black bumpers, no aircon but electric windows, its builder van white
1. day one we spotted some freshly powder coated audi b7 alloys, teh exact same ones i had on the golf so happy dayz - i do need one 235 40 18 tyre still
2. ordered the maxpeening rods lowering kit coilovers and axle flip - ive added in the dark side solid steel spacers to prevent movement also ive also purchased the extended adjustable brackets for rear ride height
3. mk4 side repeaters
4. new black wheel bolts
5 ive saved the best until last the travelinlite smoothed and primed front and rear bumpers
6 oh and a chinese apple carplay stereo
to do list touran carpets and seat bases if anyone locally has some hit me up ! im also fancying a flat bottomed wheel, no buttons would be preferable
thats me so far, in my basket is a big box of dodomat and im looking for a front door speaker upgrade, im prolly gona sneak a behind seat active sub in there too
also if anyone has info on what colour my white van is for me to get a can made up for touch ups etc and im going to need a paintshop to sort the bumpers for me and maybe mirror covers, im keeping the standard large ones because i actually like seeing behind me lol
