Re: Orange series
Hi everyone, I just joined up 5 minutes ago!! Thanks Lams for letting me know about this forum.
Yep, thats my Caddy, I love the thing. I use it for my business to take the strain off my GTI. I borrowed the BBS's off the golf for a show down here a few weeks ago.
I just fitted the slider rail cover last saturday, was very easy to make the front support bracket that you cannot buy.
A couple more pics,
Cheers, Andrew

Re: Orange series
I am running H&R coilovers to suit a Touran in the front and the rear leafs have been reset 75 m/m lower rather than the "axle flip". Rear shockers are Koni gas Sport to suit the mk2 Caddy but rethreading the top mounting holes make them work a treat! It sits dead flat when cornering hard and the steering is so precise and direct compared to my Golf.
The wheels are a factory accessory for the Mk5 Golfs and Jettas, "Kathioms" I think their name is. 18x8in
They are very easy to clean compared to the BBS!! Being in a long winter down here I find the orange never looks dirty, only the wheels give it away.
Looking forward to my first summer with the Caddy as I have only had it 2 1/2 months so far. It had been well looked after by its previous owner, for sure!
Cheers,
Andrew

Re: Orange series
I will try and take a pic underneath today, and yes, the wheels do fit very central in the rear arches.

Re: Orange series
Would be nice if you could show us how you have made the bracket for the slider rail cover? That would be class!!

Re: Orange series
Sorry fellas, I haver been a bit quiet here due to work pressures and being booked out solid until the 6th november! 
I will post up some pics of the rear end and front bracket for the rail shortly.
The rear leafs were sent to a local springworks and were pressed and retempered to get the drop.
Sorry once again, I will take some pics this weekend coming.
