205/70R15 Goodyear Wrangler AT/SA+. The trim is what came with the car (Caddy Cross). There's a useful parts post somewhere on here with the part nos. Very expensive to retrofit and not available for LWB (Maxi), so you'll need to modify rear wheel arch parts and find a side-trim from another car (I believe some people use Audi). Lots of info on "Cross" (FL) or "Alltrack" (FL2) body kits on here.

Van looks great! Nice photos
Fanks! Great seat covers, are they custom? Would work with the interior colour of mine (pictured seats it came with, although I've got grey canvas covers on now, which work fine, but don't look as pretty).

They aren't custom, I got them from a company called Car Seat Covers Direct based in Londonderry Ireland. Good fit and very easy people to do business with. You can order them on Ebay or talk to them direct, they will do custom things I believe if that's what you want.

@anoneamus
Did you have to have your speedo coding adjusted in vcds for the 205 70 tyre as I imagine the bigger circumference would give you lower speed reading than actual...

Fitted 3% larger tyres on mine and just about compensates for the over reading speedo from factory.
