MK4 BlackBerry Maxi Life
Posted: Sun Feb 21, 2021 10:29 am
This is my mk4 blackberry maxi life! When looking to change from my previous car I had a few cars in my mind but couldn’t get a caddy out of my head. I was looking for a mk3 really due to budget but the more (and more and more) you look a mk4 didn’t see that bad priced compared to some mk3s.
Any way, I picked this up last August from a VW main dealer. Kind of stumbled across it only looking at VW website one time previously. This was pretty much my wish list in terms of colour, engine, gearbox, heated screen, Euro 6 etc. but also being a maxi life. My previous car was a mk1 2002 octavia 1.8t 4x4 estate which I loved but I yearned for something newer with more mod cons but also wanted the load space with having two kids and camping etc.
I’ve done a couple of bits to the fun bus now so I thought I would get some pics up. So far:
VW rubber floor mats
De-badged rear
Team heko wind deflectors
Tinted front quarters - did them myself not great but for the time being they do just fine
New wheels - genuine 18” VW Golf Serron - freshly refurbed
Here she is pretty much as I get her apart from the wind deflectors:
New wheels:
Also got some dynamic wheels centres but I’m gutted as they the don’t fit the wheels, they are too small? Going to see if I can pack them out a bit with and O-ring or electrical tape
Tinted quarters and old wheels:
Tinted quarters and new wheels:
Chuffed with the new wheels, I think they look awesome! Also oem which is what I wanted.
Will be doing some further standard mods like splitter and side bars but this also needs lowering and I might do a remap at some point. Also have some scirocco R front calipers in the pipeline.
This will be a slow burn compared to a lot of you guys and no where near some of the efforts you all put in but as long as I get her to where I want to be, i’ll be happy.
Thanks Simon.
