[Matt@Reflex]

Hi Matt, just an enquiry about the rear spoiler. How much are they to buy, and how much could you supply one for painted in silver ?

Regards steven

Hi Steven.
From Vw they are £198 inc VAT Painted or £140 primed
We can do it for £180 painted and posted.

Thanks,
Matt

Matt what would be a ball park figure to change my white van to Met Blue?

[Matt@Reflex]

Hi.
I would suggest doing the engine bay, all door shuts and inner doors but trim in the back of the van rather than paint in there.
I will put a price together for a nice straight van and we can go from there.

Thanks,
Matt

EPIC!

took ages to go through all 22 pages, but it was damn well worth it

Have you put together the list of the parts and work needed for the v2 conversion?

[dooka]

I can comment on Matts work, as I have seen in the flesh, and it is very very very very [is that enough very's, or do we need some more] good indeed ..

[palmer02]

Awesome caddy m8. Nice to see the build thread. Totally convinced me into starting a Caddy project, might even sell my mk1 G60????

[jedi-knight83]

very nice... just been through the whole thread. great workmanship... shame its on an sdi though??

Was wondering what rear camera and screen that was your using please? Was the cam a perfect fit for the hole left by the wiper?

Thanks in advance

Hi Matt, just read the whole thread.

Sweet is all I have to say!!!

Oh, and I don't mean to tell you how to suck eggs, but if you anneal the aluminium before you bend it it won't crack, use a blow torch to heat the metal until the flame turns pink at that point it's annealed and will be far more flexible.

A old hand taught me that at work. Remember to look for the pink flame, I know it sounds mad but it works.

Cheers Rory

Just dont heat too much cause if it turns brown its fluffed and will be brittle

+1, You can also rub soap on the metal before heating, heat it untill the soap turns black and your done.

Search Anneling on youtube there is a couple vids.
