Thanks for the piccys some awsome looking vans there  :smiley:

Updates
Front coilovers fitted had it right down but already lost a sump  :grin: well my dad did so its been lifted slightly  :grin:
Front side repeaters clear ones
some Porsche embolems on the wheel centre caps cheap ones
New door mirrors as last ones were broken
Back seats all in plus seat belts fitted and door cards  but had to cut them abit.
Next things new steering wheel
and looking at a new front splitter give it a more aggressive look

Few piccys thxs for looking  :wink:

well i was hoping to stay away from caddys to be fair, but yours looks sweet with some simple mods.  :cool:

a lot will be down to price and condition, out of interest, how much is the tax on it ?

I cant remember tbh but I think it was either £118 or £124 for 6 months it dont fall into the lower tax band like newer diesels.The sdi is cheaper to insure than the tdi model though.
