Yep.
Really like it.
I can get it on and off the roof on my own, and it doesn't seem to affect the wind noise and drag much at all - Aerodynamics (drag) seems better than on the higher Thule bars (a little bit).

A nice new engine cover.

The VW Badge was a 70mm wheel hub cover.

Thanks lads, yeah its been a tough one this time, had disaster after disaster, the bodyshop I used has f**ked up my bumpers big time, completely ruined the front one, and terrible fitment on new back one so I had to revert back to the standard for now until my wallet recovers!
Looking at using TMG next time, their prices are astronomical but they guarantee fitment, which is all that matters to me after these utter heartbreaks!
Moment of truth came when she rolled out the garage as the colour always looks so different under artificial lights, in the sun she's even better.
Thanks to the bodyshop there's still work to do. But at least it's back on the road! Image

That purple caddy above is stunning, makes me feel funny in my tummy
(but also vastly inadequate)

Simple but great little upgrade on mine, courtesy of a top bloke in Newport

Cruise and leather MFSW added to mine, makes it a hella more pleasant driving experience

Been a bit slow on the caddy the last month, had other jobs to sort, but have managed to get a few bits done. Have got rear camera fitted, had rear lights and a pillar windows tinted, painted front and rear badges, modified and painted the alltrack arches for the rear bumper, also put some more clear coat on my carbon exhaust tips, as they were a little dull. Also managed a quick repair on a mates caddy side skirt that he hit on a curb, had to get sorted for him as he was using it for his wedding, all sorted in time for the big day 👍🏼. Next jobs, fit shortened rear axle and the alltrack arches

Top job @gazza31112 !! Sorry to hear about your troubles with the body shop. Unfortunately you can not always tell the good ones from the bad ones before hand… The caddy looks utterly amazing though!

Got around to fit the freshly painted side rail covers, colour coded door handles and life side wing mirrors. Really nice to finally see the result of the hard work.

I also had the side trim colour coded. But with all this other parts painted on the side, I’m starting to question my decision. Should I have the painted side trim mounted or should I do a lap to the local scrap yard and gather some unpainted ones?

In the local garage at the moment.

Drove absolutely perfectly since I've had it, coil light came on two weeks ago, reset it, drove another 500 miles spot on.

Came back on the other day, can't clear it.
Threw it at the garage, there is rusty like shit in the fuel filter, pressure regulator, fuel rail....

Where does that shit come from!?
