@Van Life. The mods will come with time mate. Mine is a slow burner. Best off taking your time and really considering what you want anyway. No point in doing something, then thinking I wish I’d have fitted X instead

Absolutely mate, to be honest I'm just happy with it as it is at the moment which is good! Lack of parking sensors I think we'll annoy me sooner rather than later. It has a rear camera but it's not great, unless you want to see what's on the floor

Booked mine in to the body shop for next Wednesday to have the spoiler and side rail cover painted and have a dent Taken out. Once that’s done I need to hurry up and decide what coilovers to go for

I am going to plan installing the rear view camera (high) into my caddy. Does anyone done this before and can give me some helpful tips?

@m-racer. One tip is don’t take the power for your camera from the rear reverse light. It’s not a clean feed but a pulsating one, meaning you’ll get a picture with the ignition on, but as soon as you switch on the engine, the screen will go off

Hi, thanks for the tip. I have to wait for better weather. Today was a snowy day.

I'm also about to install a camera... But can't make up my mind as to where to install it.. the view from both the very top and above the licence plate is pretty bad... Is there any other possible location/solution?

To solve the pulsating current issue I got one of those boxes with a relay and a capacitor... I haven't received it yet so can't comment on the results. Anybody used them? Do they work alright?

I was thinking about installing it near the fuse box and picking up the reverse signal near the BCM
