Custom Caddy (MY15 - Ravenna Blue)

[psyone]

nice, looks awesome. now you need some big brakes to fill these voids in the wheels ! i got all my components for r32 brakes conversion. just need to get someone to swap them over.

Thanks,

Between center hub and guard it sits at 310mm Rear and 290mm Front, once i make up new airbag mounts on the rear it will sit at 290mm all round, undecided if i will notch the front since it will all be level and pretty low anyway.

Where did you get your brakes from? Were they easy to find? How much did they cost?

looks so good.. the only thing that bugs me about caddy is the different mirrors.. why couldnt they just have 2 big ones..

[Superior]

Yep looks so weird from the front, i don't get the point of it. Inside the car visually there is no difference in vision, the drivers side has a blind spot curve but the passenger side doesn't, don't know why they just didn't put the blind spot curve mirror on the passenger side.

Wouldn't mind putting some Golf mirror on it.

I agree. Just looks odd and doesn't suit my OCD.

I'm going to get a large mirror from a LHD and mod it to reflect correctly.

why not get golf mk5 mirrors and mod them ? also, mk7 golf have their mirrors mounted on the actual door skin rather than how it is mounted on caddy, wonder if it would be an easy mod ? blank the old mirror positions and drill new ones in..

talk to Matt@reflex on Caddy2K forum he does these mirror conversions all the time.

[psyone]

hah your car is getting linked on vw facebook page. people spotting you in greenacre bunnings !

Man, this is the best looking Caddy I've seen. Period. You just need bigger brakes.

The mirror conversions aren't cheap. Not saying they're overpriced.. There's just a lot of work in doing them.

[psyone]

yea, bigger brakes to fill them 19s. i just had r32 brakes installed, looks good with 18s but might be a lil small with 19s'.

I almost bought a set of Golf R Brakes for $800 but i couldn't justify spending the money just to fill a gap in the front wheels. Plus i'd have to get a bigger spare as the stock spare wont fit with those brakes.

psyone - Which Facebook Page? I'm on a few VW one's but i never saw a post?

[psyone]

Its on Australian Performance VW Group page. I didnt really think about a spare tyre when i got the brakes. I guess i should take mine out since its at no use now.

Few pics from the last few months, still a few more mods to go.

Want to add Golf Mirrors, change the top grill to a Highline Grill with the chrome strips, and add the fog lights on the lower grill to break up the black inserts.










Had it at a VW Australia Drive Event this week, will have more pics of it from there soon.
