Matt@Reflex's new Caddy project **Feb 2012 update**(Wheels)

[jutty]

good work Matt...all you need now is your coilovers

[Matt@Reflex]

you are mental ! but well done extremely tidy work did u use the same tool for it all ?

Its part of the same tool but hand held. It welds itself to the panel on contact and you just pull the trigger to pull the dent and then twist to break the contact. Very fast when you get used to it

[Matt@Reflex]

that is looking really good! Nice one!

Is that an Audi Quattro I spy in the background?

Thats top secret 30th anniversery this year and we have been asked to restore a load for the audi showrooms.

how you going to operate the sliding door Matt?

how you going to operate the sliding door Matt?

Probs open from inside, or for more work, using a solenoid?

Matt, I can't believe you've done all that in just 15 hours mate! Saw that tool being used by Ed China on a Fezza (Wheeler Dealers) the other night - amazing piece of kit!

Yeah it wasn't cheap but i wouldn't want to be without it now.
As for the sliding door, its the same as my other caddy. I just dremell a hole in the bulkhead next to the mesh and reach through.
You quickly learn where the handle is and its a great security feature

Looking good matt,

Would you not smooth the side rubbing strips while you're at it?

[DADDY]

Nice work so far, looking very promising indeed dude

[Matt@Reflex]

Looking good matt,

No i didn't like it on the red one. I thought it looked a bit tall.
I'm going to put Touran V2 highline ones on it.

Ahh, I think they are like mine,(with the chrome??)

Indeed, but i will be painting the chrome bit black (or dark grey) to match the center of my V2 front bumper.

[feeman]

No messin about with you lad, lookin good so far cant wait to see it all done, id say it will look well in that colour too.

[Matt@Reflex]

Had a little play with the new front panel at lunchtime today and i have a complication.
I now know it is true that the inner wings are different on the V2 Touran
I have ordered new inner wings as you can't buy just the end bits separately.

[dubvan]

Blimey didn't know that - knew you needed a different front panel - just goes to prove the old saying - "modding dubs can be a genuine pain in the arse and damages your wallet permanently!"....or something like that..

can not wait to see this take shape ! Is there much involved in changing the inner wings ?
