Caddy R360 build thread

[Matt@Reflex]

Thanks for kind words Dan.
It will really start taking shape fast now as all the custom work is done including the mirrors so its just primer (done today) then flat/prep, paint, flat+polish then paint gloss black parts and then my bit, fitting it all back together
I wish mine was at this stage. I started bonding some of the kit on tonight but I still have both rear arches to make

Wrapped up like a giant christmas present in the video!!! Your van is going to look awesome m8 plus i think you may have started the golf bumper trend well and truely rolling-could go down in caddy history!

Its not too bad. I only stay for an hour or so after work and all day Saturday and the odd couple of hours on Sundays.
I was looking through my photos and I got my van at the end of April. It seams to be taking forever. No rush though as I still love my blue van

Loving the work love and attention that's going into this project. What is the rough cost for a golf r bumper for my caddy. Cheers

[caddy_R]

hello here I put a new challenge for you matt but there is nothing difficult, certainly looks good the new bumper R for caddy

[dan@biali]

Thats interesting. Is that a photoshop?

Check out the video clip below from facebook for some progress:

My guess is its a rendering

I mentioned many many months ago there is a touran r in the pipeline so maybe vw are going to create caddy r too

[dan@biali]

Yes you are correct, I found a reference to it as a rendering somewhere else. Maybe when they see all the different "R" versions we're creating on here they'll think about doing a proper Caddy R! Maybe they'll get some inspiration about how it should look but more importantly, how easy it would be to raid the parts bin.

[caddy_R]

if it is a photoshop I found on the internet, if they receive a caddy be R or any model with different bumpers ...
Your caddy is the color looks great when finished and have daylight
are you going to change as well the mirrors by the touran?

[dan@biali]

I agree that Rs are often blue at launch and no coincidence I was sold on my Caddy before I even saw it in the flesh!

Yes my Caddy will have Touran mirrors. Reflex are building them and believe they have a new design of bracket to aid fitting. They still require plastic welding but won't need bungs welding into the door pillar.

[caddy_R]

I agree with the main color is blue model R is sure to look beautiful, can not wait to see it finished, be what makes matt with mirrors, if anyone can do is the.

[dan@biali]

So it looks like I've sorted a garage to store the Caddy over winter and try and keep this paintjob as amazing as it already is, and just seen a couple of updates on fb...........

[Gresley]

Really great work. Are you going to fit the Golf R front spoiler p/n 5K0805903F9B9?

[dan@biali]

Are you are referring to the black undertrim for the bumper seen in the image below? In which case yes, my Golf R bumper came with one so hopefully Matt can utilise it to attach to the oe mounting points.
