Project Caddy

Looking great now with the exhausts, the 75bhp can take mapping very well. My own 102bhp lacks in power too so I'd hate driving a 75bhp lol

Exhausts now finish it off just nicely, some change from when it used to sit in the yard!

Do you remember it in its white with black bumpers?

I work at Wilson's, So remember it well, was talking to Darren about it on Friday about how you would not even know it was the same van now!

You should show him a picture, but I'm sure to be passing there soon enough!

I'll get a remap and that's me pretty much finished with it.

It's amazing how just servicing it and changing all the filters has made a big difference to it also though

I think he has seen pics of it, he brought it up when I seen him on Friday in the tea room lol.
Looks great! I look forward to hopefully seeing it in the yard!

Exhausts make it Ross

[Mr.Mint]

Thank you very much mate

 

[Big Pimp]

Couple of small updates. Replaced the lowering springs with coilovers and love how it sits.

Front bumper is just back from being repainted as it was stone chipping like crazy and I also fitted a lightbar like @roverspeed recommended

Needs a good buffing, sing-writing needs done and I’ll maybe wait until the new year for a hybrid. Maybe

 

[roverspeed]

Sweet! Looks very tidy.

How'd you find the light output?


What bulbs do you have in the headlights? They look a good colour temperature match for the light bar.

Looks great mate, it’s class.

LED headlights mate

LED headlights mate

Ah ha, mine are also LED but they aren't great. And the colour temp is much cooler than the light bar and my mains.

I can't get a decent enough beam pattern out of my dips.

What brand are the led bulbs? I'm guessing those are h7s?

I bought them from Amazon mate - just standard H4 caddy bulbs mate.

TECHMAX H4 (9003 Hi/Low) LED Headlight Bulbs, All-in-One Conversion Kit 80W 7,200Lm (6000K Cool White) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LER2PZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_.454zbTHZFVZ5

I’m very impressed with them.

The lightbar is really crisp and bright. I do have a hotspot from them due to the caddy being so low but it really is a great light.
Not sure whether this bar is brighter than the one on the caddy - I think it might be but I must try a side by side comparison some night. Love that this is more subtle if you could describe it as that!

 

[ChrisL]

Looks really well Ross, front end is spot on

 

[Big Pimp]

Slight update for winter.

Took the 19” helios rims off it as they were utterly dire in the snow. Even if this is all there snow we get I’m not bothered as they are proper winter wheels for colder temperatures, and the 19s need refurbed.

I bought the 18” fat 5s from @Lyons a while back and he already had Michelin Pilot Alpin tyres on it which have been great so far.

I’m not normally a fan of dark wheels, but I do like the custom gunmetal colour he had them painted, so they’ll be staying how they are!

Gave it a good wash today too. Something so very rewarding when everything else is stinking and this nice and clean

 

[gizmo98]

Not normally a fan of dark wheels but they really suit the van

 

[Brennan]

They suit it Ross

 

[Lyons]

You’re killing me, that looks unreal. Much better than the Helios too.

 

[pobmk4]

Fat fives on a caddy are hard to beat (although I might be a bit biased ), wouldn't normally be a fan of dark wheels but they look really well.

 

[NickR]

I have to agree with @Lyons , looks so much better on the fat 5s.

 

[Woodcutter]

Looks perfect. I'd keep them on all year round!
