Caddy Build Thread!

[Caddy]

Had time between some appointments today so applied some more dynamat... Didn't take a pic, but did the top of the wheel arch on the 'inside' and I think that will make some difference.







As you can some sections aren't 100% covered but (apparently) the majority of sound reduction occurs in the first 30% of covering the panel in sound deadening so fingers crossed that is indeed the case.

I'll get some pics up soon.

Tint before and afters

No major updates, applied a few more sheets of dynamat to the vehicle... will be getting the rear trimmed in carpet shortly.

Also I have pretty much made my mind up on doing air suspension.

PM me and I'll pass you details of the guy I'm getting most of my kit from. It's aimed to be passed by an engineer so should be top notch.

OK final bit of dynamat done and going in for carpeting and stuff today!

Also bought some bentley wheels .. but need some lowering before I put them on!

[Caddy]

Carpeting done!
Haven't driven it extensively yet so not sure if it'll quieten things down but here's hoping it will! The carpet is quite plush with a nice thick underlay.
There's also a nifty pocket on the driver's side wall as that was previously spare space (and another pocket in the rear right hand door)

Update on above, driving is definitely much quieter and more refined!! Am very happy with it.

Put some new wheels on, OEM Audi 5 arm rotors:

gotta lower it ! also you should def change them ****ty seats. best decision i ever made. them stock seats would give me a backache after driving for anything over 30 mins. got myself some mk5 gti seats. they are so comfy.

That is starting to very very spiffy indeed!!
The Audi rims look awesome!

Keep up the good work and also the posts i'd love to see more of what you've got planned!

[Caddy]

I think due to shape + size of the windows I always find water trickling in after it rains!! (with the windows down that is)

Got a pair of VW weathershields to solve that

I don't think they look too bad either, they are slimline and 'tinted'

[psyone]

I prefer Team Heko wind deflectors. i dont think you can get them in australia. i had to get mine sent from poland, but they are well worth it
ps thats not my car !

I had Recaro seats in all my previous cars.
They would not fit in the VW Caddy.
I took the Caddy to Wiltshire in Adelaide and the VW Caddy seats reshaped like my old Recaros.
I have comfortable seats now.
Cost about $ 300.00 in 2007.

Can't remember the type or brand sorry it's just black interior trimming carpet
