Re: Reflex Silver Caddy (66)
I've been toying with buying one of those skid plates for a while, looks good.
Is the main part of the grill just vinyl wrapped in red, just above the chrome strip? It actually looks better like that, most wrap over the chrome strip.

Re: Reflex Silver Caddy (66)
The photo doesn't actually do the skid justice. I really like the look of it.
On the grill it's just a red sticker above the chrome.
Just used these stickers

All looks amazing! Love the bed setup and how the slats slide to form the bed.
What’s the latest?

Re: Reflex Silver Caddy (66)
Thanks Dom.
Not had chance to get anything done recently. Hoping to get clocks fitted sooner rather than later. Also plan on finally biting the bullet on the dash trims. Then to decide what I do with the colour of them??????

Re: Reflex Silver Caddy (66)
Decisions, decisions!
Looking at your van is like my wish list tho!
I haven’t even had a chance to get started on mine, it’s a working van most of the time. I want to do the mirrors as I get the whistling too, were your mirrors easy to fit?
I also want to lower mine but not yet sure what suspension setup to go for as it has to remain with working van capabilities...

Re: Reflex Silver Caddy (66)
I'll be totally honest on the suspension. Mine is a nightmare at times, if you need it for work and it will be on some rough roads then dont go too low. I sometimes have country and gravel roads to go down. Maybe even 18" wheels to allow a larger profile tyre to absorb some bumps. After catching my front splitter so many times, then have it rip off from a flooded road, I changed and went with a skid guard. If you are mainly on ok tarmac then you should be ok with lowering and 19's. Just accept it will be a bumpier ride.
Mirrors are easy enough to fit and were deffo a must. The whistle was so bad in mine. The only awkward part in fitting is getting all the radio/heated mirror cables back through a metal hole and into the door. But with a bit of time and fiddling you'll get it ok. Oh and just roll the radio aerial up to get that to fit. If you also have DAB then I used a 3M sticky pad to stick the unit down on a perfectly shaped flat bit on the inside.

Re: Reflex Silver Caddy (66)
Just a couple small additions
Painted the engine cover. Admittedly not a fantastic job. Forgot to take photo's so here's an in progress one.
and finished
Also, as Ive been doing a bit more Mountain Biking, I needed a solution to holding the bike in place.
Using the bolt holes for the lashing eye rings. I used some longer bolts with spacers underneath the extrusion rail to hold in place. Then a fork mount attached to that. Makes it easy to remove when not in use.

Re: Reflex Silver Caddy (66)
Builds looking really nice mate,
Where abouts did you get the rail and what type/where is the fork mounted holder from?
Looks a really neat setup for holding the bikes without hacking away at the floor
